I know you didn't mean that comment in an insultive way. But as an adult with Aspergers I find those comments incredibly insultive. Aspergers has nothing to do with violence and nothing in the DSM for ASD includes person beating others. I hear it all the time at AS parents meetings. If an Aspie attacks people its because they have some other comorbid disorder like most probably Explosive Disorder perhaps even mixed with Bipolar. Aspergers does not cause people to be violent and most of us on the spectrum are not. Most of us are actually fairly timid. So please don't blame violence on Aspergers. The person is violent because they are violent not because they are autistic. I feel sorry for the parents I truly do. But please don't blame that kind of behavior on autism.
