[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have read the original piece in the NYer yet but the summary I read indicated that Lanza's father made exactly the kind of disclaimer the OP wishes for - that violence isnt typical of Asperger's and that he probably had some kind of additional disorder, maybe schizophrenia. I'm glad he's speaking out finally - he seems to want to provoke other parents to think carefully about how to help their troubled kids.[/quote] Morning news shows have left out the disclaimer. The problem is when the story gets a 3-5 spot, Asperger's gets mentioned several times, but they don't mention that these kids are unlikely to be violent.[/quote]
