Autism and the Ct. School Shootings

    I very seldom, in fact so far as I can remember, never comment on current events using my Psychological Training or Cognitive Science as an element.   I try to keep that separate.

     However, I am becoming very disturbed at the facile way reporters and commentators are throwing around terms such as "Autism" and "Asperger's Syndrome" as related to causation in the situation.    Neither is or could be true.  It is possible that some sort of identity disorder could be involved, but this is not Dustin Hoffman or Jerry from Boston Legal. 

    End of story.  If you want to know more, let me know.   Otherwise, look elsewhere for the causes.
