While he is an aspie I have seen nothing indicating he is a WP member.

What a crock of shite. Maybe Lee Harvey Oswald and/or Jack Ruby had aspergers too, but who cares?

^^ This.

Why do people make such sensationalistic titles----unless, it's to draw attention to THEMSELVES!!

I searched this post because it sounded like in the title that a Wrongplanet member had been involved in an attack. But upon reading the linked article, there is nothing indicating the attacker was a Wrongplanet member, unless I missed something. The article seemed to indicate that the attack may have been caused by the ramped up conditions of the location overstimulating the attacker's senses, therefore causing a meltdown. I can admit there have been times when I have been at a shopping mall where the noises and lights get to me so bad that I have to either find a quiet place to chill or head to my car. However, I have not had the desire to attack someone over it.

"Violent outbursts" are not a symptom of Asperger's/autism. This guy is just a jerk (possibly a jerk who is autistic, but if so it's not his autism that caused him to tackle that guy.)

Of course Milo Yiannapoulous is cool with being misinformed about autism, though. He seems pretty comfortable, for an educated person, being misinformed on all sorts of topics. Seems to be his shtick--to put a sheen of educated credibility on misinformation to suck up to people who hate him and get page clicks. He must really loathe himself.

Hmm this seems fishy.
