    What? Dude. People with autism are not likely to become murderers. They don't understand social queues and sarcasm, and they don't like being touched. On what planet does someone like that go, "NOW I KEEL U!!!"

    If you're thinking of guys like Eliot Rodger (the nut who shot up a sorority house because he couldn't get a date), please don't associate someone like him with people who have autism or Aspergers. People on the spectrum have issues understanding emotions as other people express them. They simply process the information differently. That's waaaaaay different from suffering from something as extreme as malignant narcissism or antisocial personality disorder where you view other people as objects. There's a big difference between Rain Man and Deadpool!

    Was it the extremist of extreme examples? Yes. But, with that being said, the point they're trying to make that our brains are wired differently and we perceive and react to situations differently, and often with a black and white thinking approach, remains valid. Notice as well that they're focusing on serious autism (or as we refer to it as, low functioning autism). Now, I only have experience with the high functioning side of autism, but it can go to that, as we struggle with managing the stresses approached in society. And we handle them differently.

    As I'm sure you are well aware, it takes more than one person to be able to kick a player from a duty, so in all those instances there were at least two people agreeing they'd be better off without you tanking.
