I knew they were going to throw Asperger's under the bus for the CT shooting.  Here is an article that actually defends our kids for a change...

It really bothers me that if someone is violent, the media immediately goes to Autism.  The media is trying to justify someone's actions which are not justifiable.  I fear labeling all these people with autism in the media that society will ostracize our kids even more so than they do currently.
