False dichotomy.
Not all spree killers are aspies, or ADHD'ers, nor any kind neurodiverse condition.Indeed most are neurotypical.
Those with neurological conditions who are driven to be spree killers were not all necessarily driven to do that by being "oppressed" by society for having a neurological condition.
Your question is based on several unproven assumptions.

How people get so defensive when murderer and aspie are in the same sentence. I must say that many neurodiverse killers who score above 120 IQ are quite brilliant and interesting in a way.
I think it is possible to look at both angles at the same time It's possible to acknowledge that hate leads to more hate while at the same time not condoning hate or violence of any kind. Years of mistreatment and abuse are just a factor that increases the risk of violence.
I think taking a life is the absolute worst thing a person can possibly do. But it would be foolish to assume that abuse is not a factor in 100% of all cases. This is black-and-white thinking that actually makes things worse.
