Here is the link. I don't know what's more scary, the article itself, or the fact that it's on a university web page.

Wyoming Institute of Technology Aspergers Article Is a Spoof

This tie4s directly into what I was saying on this thread however: viewtopic.php?t=277747 because there really WERE commentators suggesting that with demons like Adam Lanza or Elliot Roger, their Asperger's made it inevitable that they did what they did and some of them seemed to think their Asperger's meant society should be lenient and soft on them over the murders they committed. Adam Lanza's mother in particular seemed to be trying to convince others they should go easy on Lanza and see him as a sort of cultural and societal victim.

Well that explains...

No wonder I like to lure people in the wilderness in Runescape and kill them and take their loot. It's because I have Aspergers. I feel enlightened

I'm part of the 8% who have never been convicted, yay me!

In its October 2014 issue, the magazine Esquire published this very interesting article on what motivates young male "mass shooters" and it is refreshing to note hat the "a" words (autism, aspergers) are completely absent from this thoughtful study:

Looks like the 'smokers-statistics', every smoker dies from smoking, hiding in that way the other factors from pollution, exposure to toxics at work, medication, etc

I think it would have been a good April fool's joke but too bad he submitted it too soon.

I continue to find myself baffled by the crap some people come up with.

That's why I don't like telling people I have Asperger's. All this scary stuff about us being murderers is making people look at Aspies in a totally different light, and I don't want people to think that I might lash out and murder them. That is why I do not want to ever tell my boyfriend about it. I know he will find out I have something because of my quirks, but I could just tie a bunch of other disorders together, like ADHD coupled with anxiety disorder or post traumatic stress disorder or anything like that. But I am never, ever, ever disclosing Asperger's.


Right, now I'm going to go to my freezer where my collection of decapitated human heads are kept...

Studies like these like to redefine the meaning of murder so they can twist the statistics to prove their point.
