People me must simply choose to avoid doing evil things to people, and we are about as normal at that as any other people. People with Asperger's syndrome have an advantage in avoiding criminal convictions because (1) like most handicapped people we are cautious. (2) we are less prone than the average to chemical dependencies commonplace among offe4nders, and (3) we are good at calculating the consequences of our behavior. After all, most of us know that we would be exceptionally vulnerable in any penal setting.As a liberal, I can close my mind or simply ignore this or refuse to accept differences, and continue stressing on mental issues and continue connecting mental issues with mass shootings and continue connecting mental issues with mass murderers like liberals are/ have been doing with gun owners. Like I said, being liberal is easy. No need for thinking. No need for use of judgement. It's easy. Where do I sign up?
The only major offender that I suspect has Asperger's is Unabom terrorist Ted Kaczynski.
I have had situational depression within the last five years, so that ought to keep me from getting a firearm.
