Being on the Spectrum does not make you dangerous

I am an Aspie father of children all over the spectrum.

Being on the spectrum doesn't make one inherently dangerous. But it can make one effectively dangerous (like infantile biting using adult jaws or excessive collateral damage while defending oneself). This is especially true of my lower-functioning children.

Also, if I stole an armored car, but didn't break any traffic laws and still delivered it to its proper destination, I would still be guilty of stealing for the entire time that I had it in my possession. Guilt would be undeniable. Effective correction would not be so clear-cut (as it would be if I stole it for conventional personal gain).

I’m Darius’ lawyer. Thank you everyone for your candid discussion. The Judge is deciding whether to send Darius to the locked down criminal insane asylum (I have a client there now who murdered his grandmother with rubber bands—-not a place for Darius), or to a community based hospital where he will not be free to leave. With treatment and support, the goal would be for him to be placed in a group home. His life story is fascinating. He is my sweetest most gentle client. He calls me everyday at 4:13 pm.
