No. I do score low on empathy tests, but I have never been violent nor want to. Violence isn't associated with Asperger's itself. There may be a violent person with Asperger's, but it's not the Asperger's itself causing it.

This looks like an incendiary/troll thread to paint autistic people in a bad light.

The autistic people I know are the nicest people you'll ever meet. None of them would hurt a fly.

Autistic people, like everybody else, are human. Perhaps you have cherry picked examples to suit your view, because autism does not directly make someone violent. The only cases where there is a direct correlation are extremely low function autists, but we're talking autistic to the point of not having speech. In those cases, not being able to express that they are overstimulated to get someone to remove the source of stimulus, they react the only way they can get attention, by violence or shouting. It's usually a panic response because auditory or sensory stimulus can be felt 10-100x more intense than normal. If they can not vocally express discomfort, they react in panic that way.

But to think that autistic people plot or fantasize about violence more than anybody else because of their autism is ridiculous.

i have explosive anger issues, but i am not violent. just the thought of harming another living being makes me want to cry.

"more bark than bite"

I can't even yell at someone without feeling nauseous with guilt, even though there are occasions when I feel that the only way to resolve a crisis would be to beat the snot out of someone who rightly deserves it. Then I go run around the block a few times.

Saying all people with Asperger's are violent is like saying all people with diabetes or cancer are violent.

I don't have a tendency towards violence, but I do have a tendency toward inflicting injury upon myself when frustrating.

I can yell at people without feeling a sliver of remorse though, I am non-violent though.

I do have murderous thoughts from time to time, but I don't realize them because that'd be a dumb move. Anyways I do't think they're related directly to aspergers but more of an effect of how NT's treat me. There could be a slight correlation but not that significant.

i don't think someone with aspergers is any more likely than someone who doesn't have aspergers to be a violent rapist murderer. bad apples like you exist no matter what.

The only connection I see is that some AS people had/have troubled lives, which may make them more disposed to violence as a solution. I think the larger issues at hand is societal issues such as bullying/child abuse, not genetic. I have this issue with the depression epidemic and the wide spread use of anti depressants when some people just had a rough life and therefore should feel sad. Whatever makes you a more functional brick in the wall I suppose .

I was sexually abused by my father when I was a kid. And had a f****d up life growing up and was bullied all the time because of my aspergers and learning disability

in 50 shades of gray Christian's aunt or something sexually abused him as a kid and so when he sexually abuses Ana it's because he's coming to terms with his own past abuse by transferring it to her. so it's set up in such a way to make idiots feel empathetic towards him rather than disgusted.

I felt nothing for that Christian character he just looked like another guy who was into bdsm I've known people who are into that lifestyle through fetlife he just was with the wrong kind of girl. I've had encounters with girls who were into the beatings and torture.

real and consensual bdsm relationships are all fine and good, I was referring to the way people who do horrible things (rape, torture, murder) often use excuses and blame other people/issues so they don't have to take personal responsibility, as well as in an attempt to elicit a sympathetic response. but I'm not saying past trauma and abuse are not legitimate triggers for someone to become a disgusting person.

ive seen people always blame somebody or something i say if you are going to kill someone kill the people who actually harmed you meaning the individuals not random people like all these guys always say they do when they go on their rampage. Killing random people is just stupid and selfish i would love to murder the individuals who bullied me throughout high school but i just gotta let s**t go im 31 years old im not in high school anymore and have not been for many years. heres my aspergers videos heres my latest

When I was little, I bit and scratched and pulled hair and then I grew out of it and only did it when picked on. I also had a lot of violent thoughts and I did verbal threats in 6th grade and did spitting and I had lot of violent thoughts in my teens and had them with my ex boyfriends. My therapist I saw in high school blamed my violent thoughts on AS but I knew it was a bunch of bull because reading it for two years then, not one book or website had violent thoughts listed as a symptom. I also got violent in my teens and my mom thought I was going to be one of those kids who will shoot up a school so she made sure there were never guns around and that my grandfather's was kept locked up at his house. I also used to threaten suicide saying they will be sorry so my Dad also made sure his insulin was not around and he always took it up at his parents house where he kept it. My mom also threatened to send me to a hospital so I had to stop trying to have ODD.

Also when I was little, I did abuse games with my Barbies by having them abuse each other and have one of them do child abuse.

I am rather ashamed about what kind of teen I was and how I was an abuser but my mom fixed that in me and I am glad she did.
