I know Aspegers people can do bad things as much as the NT but what does his As have to to with what he did. I think that person with As are more like to be victims  then the one committing thing. Hope the makes sense I am a bit  sleepy as i am typing this.

I thought of this when I read your post: Would they have mentioned it if the criminal had been an NT?  I don't see what a person's neurological spot on the spectrum has to do with it.  And this perpetuates the stereotype about us that we're dysfunctional and more apt to behave badly.  IMO.
