[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I think your anger is misplaced. I think more people are outraged that there is such easy access to handguns that have no other purpose other than to kill many people in seconds as well as the lack of mental health resources to help young people who obviously need it. [/quote] +1, and I say this as someone who does not have a SN child. People are building a picture of this young man, looking for anything that might be a clue or play a role. Potentially on the autism spectrum. Child of divorced parents. Mom a gun collector. Financially comfortable. Loner. Genius. None of these is a definitive causation for this tragedy, they are simply pieces of the puzzle that was this young man's life. People are trying to understand what and who he was. I don't hold this tragedy against people with autism any more than I hold it against people who are rich or who live in small towns or have high IQs. [/quote]
