The news agencies are now reporting that the mass murderer Cho Seung-Hui may have been autistic, "but such a diagnosis would not necessarily explain his violence."<br><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070420/ap_on_re_us/virginia_tech_shooting;_ylt=Atyqua7HxwAwzTC70Ne5NRGs0NUE" target="_blank">http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070420/...C70Ne5NRGs0NUE</a><br><br>
My first thought on reading this was, great, one more bizarre misconception about autism for my DS1 to overcome. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/greensad.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="greensad">
