He appears quickly to ascribe A.S. to serial killers like Dahmer and Bundy, and terrorists like Ted Kaczinski . Back in the 90's the syndrome of ADDas being apllied to all sorts of miscreant behavior such as Michael Fay's defence for his vandalism and hooliganism when he was about to get his ass whipped as punishment . Now with recent reports of a rise in Autism, it may be fasionable to relate Asperger to all sorts of horrif violent events, like the Virgina Tech shooting . There was a remark on Geraldo Reviera show that that that young man Cho suffered from AS . Could someone here get back to me with some more info about this Dr Silva ? How professional is he ? Is he a showman know-it-all armchair-theorist opportunist like Greenberg ? How trustorthy is this Dr Artuor Silva?

The people I know my daughter included even though at times can be very aggressive. It is not thought through it is a reaction to her environment a fight flight response. When she realizes that she has hurt someone that is not her intent. I imagine that even if he was autistic he had other emotional and psychiatric issues as well.
