A lot of people have pointed to the fact that Burke had accidents frequently and did some odd poop play as evidence of his sexual abuse and general perversion/oddity. Kids with ASD are way more likely to have chronic constipation and have accidents.
Compared to whom and according to whom?
Compared to neurotypical children and according to every doctor or research person that works with children with autism. See, as one of thousands of examples, http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/0300443032000079069. Kids with neurological conditions generally have low tone with causes issues with bowel movements. Seriously, though, this is not a peer review board, stop demanding a citation for noncontroversial statements. Also, google is your friend if you are really interested.
I'm not the poster asking about Burke, but please stop posting crap about people on the spectrum. What you said is not true and the article you cited, says that "No data for children on the spectrum were found in the literature search, and indeed very little research related to this topic..."
Yeah, kids on the spectrum can have communication or behavioral issues that make them difficult to potty train, but stop making sweeping generalizations about autism.
DP. Ugh. Please stop, guys. No one is going to post any theories if they have to back up everything with sources and constantly worry about who might take things the wrong way and be offended.
A theory is a theory. Everything about the Ramsay murder is speculative b/c we don't know. However, don't state things as part of a theory that are factually untrue. For example, Jenny McCarthy did this for years about vaccines causing autism, which is untrue, but many, many people still believe it.
Facts are facts. Stick to them.
It is indeed a well established fact that children with autism and other neurological issues are more likely to have encopresis and toilet training issues. I am not sure what objection you have to accepting basic facts, but lets take a look:
http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF01058155
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0891422208001753 - noting specifically, Children and adults with developmental disabilities are more likely to evince encopresis, soiling and constipation than the general population. This set of related behaviors can produce a great deal of stress and can be a major restriction in independent living.
Also, from several know autism sites:

I think the question was someone said Burke was ASD or had autism and someone asked for THAT to be backed up.

Not according to the scientific literature. The first two links are the same article. And there a bazillion "known" autism sites; some that recommend chelation and bio-med treatments. That's not proof or facts.

Just seems unlikely.
Real life cases aren't like episodes of CSI. There is frequently little physical evidence in a case.
This individual (presumably) cracked JonBenet's skull. Carried her down two flights of stairs. Sexually assaulted her and strangled her using items collected from around the house. Unwrapped Christmas packages to find underwear to redress her in. Sat at a desk in the home and wrote a long winded ransom note on a notepad and with a pen belonging to the house....
Oh, and supposedly squeezed through a small window in the basement leaving no footprints, no threads from their clothes, no hair....
Nope. Not buying it.
I agree that there is usually little physical evidence but there was quite a bit here. Patsy's fibers from her coat from the night before were on the paintbrush and the rope and the tape on her mouth. Fibers from her dad's shirt were in her underwear. I think that the evidence establishes that her parents did it. NO evidence of an intruder other than trace DNA which is way controversial has ever been discovered. No hair, prints, nothing.
I don't know who hit her, but that happened first and the rest seems to be just a bungled cover up. The level the parents went to cover up evidences that there was really something to cover, though. I have to imagine it was Burke who hit her - by all accounts her parents had never hit her and he had hit her by "accident", sending her to the hospital, on two prior occasions. He was also seeing a psychologist and there is speculation, as discussed in several of the books on the case, that he may have been molesting her and her parents knew. If Patsy accidentally killed her, with the hit to the head, I do not see why her husband would cover for her. If her husband killed her, I guess maybe Patsy would have covered for him. Pretty much all authorities that have considered the subject agree that the ransom note was written by Patsy. The only way I see Patsy and her husband doing this together is if Burke or the husband killed her accidentally with the blow to the head. Its not clear who did the redressing - Patsy may have been involved in the redressing of the body given that the underwear put on her, made sure to have the correct day of the week, may have came from a packet of those underwear wrapped in the basement for her niece, OR her husband grabbed the underwear which were much, much too large, from the girl's drawer, not knowing they were too big. That issue just depends on where the underwear were.
Also, there was a ton of testimony that Patsy would never have worn the same outfit two days in a row, and it was her "party" outfit. It seems much more likely that she never took it off. And that seems to mean that she must have been there when JB was hit in the head or was there right after. Anyway, she had not yet gone to bed when the hit to the head occurred, which is estimated to have been between 10-12.
