So I have been looking around the news latley for references of Aspergers and I found another person using Aspergers as an excuse for criminal behavior. Many people are well aware of the story of Gary McKinnon - The Pentagon Hacker. Well now there is a mother of a child who bombed a cafe in Exter, UK who claims her son has a mental age of a 10 year old due to Aspergers Syndrome.
So not only does Aspergers make hacking acceptable if your searching for information that your obsessive about such as UFO’s - it makes you have a ten year old mentality. I’m getting very sick of Aspergers being used as an excuse for peoples screw-ups. My life with Aspergers isnt exactly a cakewalk as it is - and then when things like this start swaying the oppinion of people it sure the heck aint gonna make it any easier.

And then people get confused about mental and emotional intelligence/maturity. Again, these are not fixed. And remember, these are NORMED on typically developing individuals, thus serving as a broad brush.
We all know that measuring on intelligence or behaviour alone is not a real measure of a person’s maturity; whether that is considered individually, or in relation to their peer group.
Crime is of course deviant behaviour, which would not be ‘normal’ at any age. I do not understand why ‘adult’ crimes show a ‘childish’ mentality. And 10 in Britain is the age where people start to be responsible for their crimes, at least in the miminal legal sense. Perhaps this is why, rather than reflecting any clinical or personal reality.
If all you are worried about is your name being besmirched by association then you are on the wrong platform.
Yes some aspies do bad things, but then that does not mean they should be put on trial by you as well.
One day it will be your turn, and I wonder what you will say when the cops taser you for failing to answer there questions in an appropriate manner?
Secondly this is a human rights case, if you have been free on bail for nearly 7 years and then they want to look you up in a high security prison for 60 years (as he is obviously (not) a threat to the American and English people, yer right) well doesn’t that just stink?
The argument is why are they continuing to harrass Gary and not allowing him to be trialed in his own country?
The whole thing is a cover up and the American’s bullying this man out of the embarrassment that he has caused certain officals and yes you too would have serious issues regarding your mental health after this amount of time!
