The Times today (not online) page 23 'aspergers Boy Killed playmate'.
Only then does it go on to note that his Aspergers symptoms weren't even used in the defence... no, maybe because Aspergers DOES NOTE denote a murderous tendency! Some kids with As do hit out as a result of frustration, but the implication of this headline!!
Very, very
And since when was it OK to refer to people by their individual characteristics anyway? Would they print an article saying 'Fat kid killed...' or 'Eczmatous kid killed...' if it wasn't relevant to the case? No ofcourse not. My son Sam is a lovely clever caring (albeit in his own way) little ald. The AS is incidental, it does not define the entirety of who he he, neither is it OK for anyone to define him by it.
Sorry rant over
