    So, You're in effect labeling all autistic individuals as potential murders by virtue of their condition? Well, OK then, lets see, murders have been committed by men, women, football fans, basketball fans, baseball fans, soccer (also football) fans, snooker fans, football players, baseball players, smokers, drinkers, users of recreational drugs, depressed people, angry people, sociopaths, psychopaths, people under duress, etc - the list is quite literally endless. That doesn't even include all the murders by criminals and terrorists and for that matter the casualties of war which are considered by the victims families to be murders also. Should we label anyone in one of those groups as murderers? Oh, video game players also...

    The irresponsible nature of your remark about Autism actually offends me, as does the ignorance behind it.

    Of course in their minds they think they did the right thing but in reality their ability to handle things rationally is more difficult than certain people would normally handle things easily brush off.
    All you're talking about is diminished responsibilities and judgment issues which 100% of the population will at sometime suffer from.

    You need retract your remark about Autistic individuals and apologize, it was uncalled for and is offensive.

    One more thing. The kind of ignorance displayed in this topic is what got a care worker, trying to help an autistic young man who was sitting in the middle of the street with a toy truck in his hands, shot by the police. Police who were too freaking dumb to understand that a care worker who was laying prostrate as ordered by the police is not a danger, and a toy truck is a toy truck. The level of ignorance among the general population about autism and the impact it has is amazing to me.
