Sensitive Topic Melbourne Couple Murdered

[AsheSkyler]

There was a few weeks (months? years?) back a guy with Asperger's killed some women at a college because they kept rejecting him and wouldn't go out with him. That was the headlines anyway, and the first time I can remember a case of autistic violence. I remember it didn't get dismissed like in this case, there was some serious concern over the stability of autistic people after that happened.

I'm reading a book by a forensic psychiatrist, and he says that many of the criminals he interviewed tried, in an attempt to gain people's sympathy and avert heavy punishment, to pretend to have a mental condition that they did not really have.

I don't doubt it in the least. Some folks just need to be dealt and done with.

I remember that case, didn't it turn out that guy wasn't autistic at all?

I don't remember. After the initial story, most I heard was people complaining about how some people really need to learn how to take rejection.

It is possible there may be some general brain mal-development connection, however many sociopaths seem to have fairly good social skills. The main red flag seems to be cruelty to animals, lots of tail chopping etcetera....Knew a boy like that, always wondered how he turned out. However some people with OCD can be quite dangerous if their compulsion is challenged. We had a case over here where a man killed his neighbor for having a yard that wasn't neat and letting his dog go in his yard. When they showed the killers house it was immaculate, even the fire wood was carefully sorted and stacked by each size. So am a little nervous about my ex's step Mom's obsession with me or my family, am definitely sitting in the blocking position and bad things could happen. Am not going to be eating any Christmass cookies from their house any time soon. Have another crazy old lady stalking me as well. Does anyone no how to get rid of these types, I feel like a diabetic in a room full of hungry mosquitoes.

I usually take the same stance as chickens and frilled lizards: if I make myself look big enough, maybe the scary thing will go away and think I'm meaner than it is. When that doesn't work, I flee.

Er, diabetic in a room full of hungry mosquitoes...? How about a cat in a room full of rocking chairs?
