Asperger’s isn’t associated with violence. However, I’ve seen unbelievable cruelty toward kids with Asperger’s by teachers and students alike. I wonder if this guy wasn’t treated that way as a child at the school.
Yes, indeed! And all these articles blamming Asperger's for this slaughter are just going to make it worse. I suspect Schizophrenia (which often comes on in the early 20s) as a more likely cause. We'll never know because the shooter is dead.
Drugs can help the Paranoid Schizophrenic is some cases. I have one working for me who flipped out and murdered his mother about 29 years ago when he was about 22. He's my most valuable and loyal employee. But, he's medicated and closely watched by psychiatrists, social workers, and probabtion officers.
