There's an article in the NYT today about the childhoods of two young adults who nearly participated in a synagogue mass shooting. It really resonated with me, because the article clearly lays out the multiple disorders that these kids showed as children. Anger management problems, impulsivity, lack of socio-emotional development. It's all ADHD/ASD profiles with explosive anger issues mixed in, or schizophrenia. I am persuaded that "incels" are boys whose psychological disorders were never treated, or who could not be successfully treated, despite all efforts.

My son has never had anger issues, which is atypical for his profile. So I'm not too concerned with him becoming a violent incel. But he has a higher risk than a neurotypical person of becoming a cloistered individual who never socializes and becomes bitter and jaded.[/quote]
