That's not what was suggested at all. Read the post again in order to

understand what is clearly written rather than assume comments that

were not made.

The 7-year-old is not part of a gang ergo his actions were not gang

culture based.

I am amazed at how often you attempt to muddy the discussion by

bringing subjects into the discussion that have no bearing on the

discussion proper.

It's what NTs call " comparing apples to oranges. "

There is quite a bit wrong with making the sort of comment you did

considering how the media loves to jump on the 'possibly autistic'

story line.

What you believe or think may not be wrong however how you posted that

belief or thought can have dire consequences for Autistics who are

already more than sufficiently under attack by many reporters in the

media who fail to educate themselves on the subjects upon which they

write their articles.

There IS such a thing as being negligent when posting one's beliefs

and/or thoughts especially when it puts an individual or a group of

individuals at higher risk of discrimination.
