The other day a friend brought her 17 year old high functioning autistic son out to ride Betsy. He reacted very aggressively to Rowan, trying to bully and boss him and – if we had not been there – would have hit him I'm sure.
Whence this aggression? I am not used to autists being anything other than charming and/or in their own worlds. And now we hear the blogoshpere going buzz, buzz, buzz with speculation that the shooter in the Virginia Tech shootings was autistic.
Is there a dark side to Autism?
