Problem is autistic boys have same intelligence and drives as normal boys. Problem is due to their sensory problems they cannot take information from environment and learn. Depending on degree of severity, these boys eventually will progress but at various levels and degrees. But the drive to have a girl does not disappear. Our pop culture does not diminish sex and sexuality. Many of these autistic boys will grow up and become violent. Each year scores of parents or caregivers are beaten to death, scores of young good looking female workers at half way homes are assaulted. Many of these autistic boys when they grow up to be men, cannot roam the streets, but rather institutionalized along with the mentally insane.
The movie Rainman with Dustin Hoffman does not portray austism accurately. Small percentate of austistic people become geniuses, but most are not. Significant numbers become violent.
I think your comment is full of inaccuracies and generalizations. But it does have huge points.
These people do have the same drives. Note that this little boy,when he was innocent and young, longed for male buddies and had some trouble achieving what he wanted. Puberty exacerbated his problem because now he not only wanted to be objectively popular with the girls, he wanted the “possession” attributes of the male female sexual relationship. There aren’t any young girls who would have the understanding to deal with such a total social misfit long enough to achieve sexual gratification!
We can’t be saying “most people with autism will become violent” as that is far from true. A better way to generalize the situation is to say that most people with autism who are highly functioning will be able to feel deep dis affectation and possibly even disconnection from society.
What can we do to prevent this?
