    I think it can be dangerous because of the presentation, and singling out ASD.

    There’s lots of otherwise harmless things can become danger multipliers.

    Being sleepy is harmless. Driving a car is very slightly dangerous. Being sleepy while driving a car is incredibly dangerous.

    Being on the spectrum isn’t dangerous at all. Radicalized people can be slightly dangerous. Sociopaths can be fairly dangerous. Gun ownership can be slightly dangerous. Radicalized sociopaths with guns on the spectrum are worth worrying about.

    But the solution isn’t singling out the ASD, but other factors that can be more effectively controlled.

      There’s discussion in this thread re him having autism, I should have mentioned that. Did you see that I said when mixed with narcissism it can be dangerous? I’m not saying neurodiverse people are dangerous.

        Oh, I totally get it. You’re all good. I’m saying that presenting it in that manner is dangerous, not that you’re necessarily presenting it that way.
