True enough - that’s why I’m unsure about what we do about the problem.

I’m far from an expert in autism spectrum disorders, but I believe the intuitive inotion that people with Asperger’s are more likely to commit violent crimes (because of their lack of social skills/empathy)has been investigated, with the research showing that violent offenders with Asperger’s also had other, significant psychopatholical diagnoses.
An expert can and should correct me, but I think the conclusion was overall that Asperger’s people are far more likely to be victims than offenders. And it is quite true that kids with social problems of various kiinds are more likely to be exploited sexually.

I’m not saying that pedophilla= Aspergers…More like Asperger’s- LIKE behaviors/emotional issues etc…Like pedos have a lot in common with Aspies, but it’s not Asperger’s per se…
