I knew a gal up in Portland, with Aspberger’s. One night, after a few drinks, she loosened up and started talking. And I was left thinking
Hooo
Leeeee
Sh_______t
This young woman would’ve gleefully massacred people by the hundreds if the opportunity ever presented itself. She had a rather wistful gleam in her eye when she was talking about settling scores with every human being who’d ever slighted her throughout her 24 year life.
Who needs horror movies when you can talk to one in real life?
Who’s the guy caught in the woods?
I cringe when I hear tragedies like this..so many why’s & trying to make sense out of things that don’t make sense. I cringe because I believe one day it will be my brother on the news..I know I’ve talked about it a few times here before but all of my family (except for my enabling parents) know my brother is a ticking time bomb but nobody wants to hurt my parents feelings so we all just play nice, trying not to rock the boat. It’s a very sad, frustrating & dangerous situation. I pray for not only the families of the victims and those children/families that witnessed this horror but also to the family of the obviously sick young man that committed these horrific crimes. I pray for his family because I understand what they might’ve been dealing with & now the unbelievable, inevitable has happened.
Aspergers and violence go together in many cases. I know A guy with a kid that has it. He says the kid gets violent when he does not get his way, and that he gets worse as he ages.
“Kids (and adults) with Aspergers are prone to frustration, anger – and sometimes violence. The rapidity and intensity of anger, often in response to a relatively trivial event, can be extreme. When feeling angry, the child with Aspergers does not appear to be able to pause and think of alternative strategies to resolve the situation. There is often an instantaneous physical response without careful thought. When the anger is intense, the youngster with Aspergers may be in a blind rage and unable to see the signals indicating that it would be appropriate to stop.”
