AS and murder.

Post Reply New Topic

I fit most of the criteria, and lived a life of crime, but, I am not even close to being a violent person. I'm about as laid-back as you can get.

did you know that some people performed exorcisims on people and they died, only to find out later that they were autistic and was having a meltdown at that particular moment in time.

omg this expains me .... :O

I fit the criteria too but the last thing I would ever do is kill someone. I despise people who kill other people. I consider them to be weak individuals, not strong enough to handle being a human. To me they are weak, disgusting and depraved. They cannot pass the tests in life. We are all stronger than we know.

One thing I find surprising about these profilers is they never question an individual's sense of ethics and morality. Like, what is someone's opinions on murderers, is it alright to kill another person, what kind of rationalizations are used to justify criminal behaviours of various kinds? Doesn't this tell you much more about an individual than some flimsy profile?

If they could not diagnose a specific type of personality disorder, then perhaps it is not a personality disorder at all. Sometimes people suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder can be mistakenly diagnosed with a personality disorder.

It may not be a personality disorder (mistakes can be made). However, if I got a diagnosis like that, I would conclude I have a personality disorder of some kind (meaning for whatever reason my personality varies from the norm, whatever the norm is) but I do not have enough traits to qualify for a specific disorder. Might have a small percentage of many traits, not enough to qualify for a specific diagnosis.

* Inability to take criticism

* Unusual sensitivity to rejection which may form the basis for...

* Lack of language skills to resolve grudges, avoid conflict, etc

* Mood swings

* Fascination with violence in films and on TV* Angry outbursts

* Often described as a loner with few friends

* Often the target of bullying, taunting and teasing which those in authority fail to identify, fail to address, fail to put a stop to - but often collude with

* An unusually high degree of unwillingness to accept personal responsibility as an adult combined with a higher-than-average tendency to use blame


* Often a non-sporting type at school which also led to him being regarded as an outcast, perhaps being regarded as a "nerd" or "geek" because he found solace in, for example, using computers or studying art, literature, poetry or dance

* Unusually poor social skills and social behaviour as an adult

* Emotional immaturity

* An unusually fragile sense of self, often present from an early age and without obvious cause

* Possible "mental health problems" although these may be more a sign of long-term psychiatric injury


Those fit me.

When angry though I have no intention of harming othets... just myself or objects. I know better.

I fit most of them too, but I'd never kill either, I'm not even violent. In school people would always try to pick fights, and I hated it.

Don't most murderers have a history of violence, and/or animal abuse? I would think that would be a more significant symptom.

From what I have read, people with autistic traits are more likely to be victims than perpetrators.

...the average human being fits those traits...

Many of these are probably true of any particular given person. What exactly are your sources? It seems these are a grab-bag of items that may not necessarily go together. At any rate, I've boldfaced the ones that apply to me.
