"Internet paedophile from Walsall jailed"
Not good, but at least they got him....
However, in the middle of the story:
"Wilde, who has Asperger's Syndrome, was "obsessed" with downloading child pornography,
leading to an "escalation of offending" in the months leading to his arrest, the judge said. "
And one more nail pinning those of us with Asperger's to the categories of "weird" and "dangerous", in the minds of a good few.

One more we with Asperger's don't need... Bad news story

um...
how so is he obsessed with DOWNLOADING? or obsessed with his porn? because the second means addiction. the first is harmless (well besides the VTDs *virtually transmitted diseases*). and i dont see how being obsessed with downloading porn as a AS trait considering addiction is behind it. doesnt that disount the diagnostic trait when diagnosing?

Dx (per Amen Clinic) Temporal lobe dysfunction, ADHD, NOS, Dysthymia and "abnormal brain scan". - like Abby Normal in Young Frankenstein!
Meds: Currently none. Trying to rely on therapy alone.
"Now the standard cure for one who is sunk is to consider those in actual destitution or physical suffering -- this is an all-weather beatitude for gloom in general and fairly salutary day-time advice for everyone.
But at three o'clock in the morning, a forgotten package has the same tragic importance as a death sentence, and the cure doesn't work -- and in a real dark night of the soul it is always three o'clock in the morning, day after day."
F. Scott Fitzgerald
