Autistics and Neurotypicals Skillfully Working to Educate and Respond to Stereotypes |
Links here are grouped by theme. This is a concept, not an organization. I was inspired to start it by two recent events that, tragically, involved mass shootings, in which children were amongst the victims. In both cases, there was speculation about whether the shooters might have been on the autism spectrum or had some other type of mental disability. Although there's no link between autism, specifically, or various other disabilities, generally, and planned acts of violence, the public is currently unaware of this. As a result, I've seen there's a need to connect people with accurate information and to debunk myths, in order to get across the message that, while all forms of autism, including Asperger's, should be taken seriously, there is no reason to fear us for our being on the spectrum.
No Connection Between Autism and Planned Violence
