Aspies Have A Mental Age of 10
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.
