Hello.

 

So Joe Scarborough says the Aurora shooter is probably on the autistic spectrum. And he says he’s speaking from experience because his son has Asperger’s. Can you say “horrible parent”?

Yes I can.

Yep. He is a horrible parent, and he is sending an awful message to people, including his own child.

Autism parents aren’t experts.

Hell, autism experts aren’t even experts.

The people with lived experience are the experts.

Not a single autistic person I know would suggest that James Holmes was autistic, especially not in a manner where it is assumed that autism had something to do with his crime.

Autistics like us fear reports like this. Because they jusify our own murders, if we are cold blooded killers. I sobbed in the bathroom reading Autistic Hoya’s post on the subject yesterday.

I honestly want to throw up.
