I happen to know several families who've got a family member who has Aspbeger's. It's a complicated handicap to have. One family's member sounds much like the shooter and the young man in this article. They've had to call the police as well. Their family member also is on medications, lives with a single mom and doesn't have much of a support system.
Thinking back to when I was young...don't think I'd ever heard of autism! It must have been there...but undiagnosed is my guess. I'd say the first I'd heard of it was maybe within the last 20 years. It's so sad to think about on so many levels.
