I understand that too but getting back to the point of the post, and relating it to your statement here, it doesn't have to be an aspie that has endured such troubles and ends up lashing out terribly. Someone with any mental illness, a weight problem etc.. bullied and oppressed enough, it will bring out those same feelings. The question is what makes the difference in people that act on those feelings? It's definitely not something that would be easily tied to Aspergers itself. That's the thing. There are tons of people being put down, hurt, oppressed, bullied and everything. Instead of the media focusing on his neurological state which is irrelevant with regards to the violence, they should be focusing on why he lacked the controls to stop himself from this.[/quote]

Poohbah, you're totally right. I got going about my bro and lost part of where I was going!
