One to Lookaway

Conspiracy theories abound in each of these cases, often involving the FBI, state police, foreign governments, advanced technologies, faked videos, falsified evidence from the scene of the crime to the autopsy, dozens of accomplices, unwitting patsies, all executed with perfect precision, without a single credible confession or a shred of conclusive evidence exposing the plot.

The actual explanation is simply that they are all on the spectrum. Because of poor social skills, they are bullied and traumatized, which creates an escalating cycle of self stigmatization that culminates in shooting, assassination and murder (or financial fraud or other transgression). To the extent they have manifestos, they are rambling screeds, full of plausible but fake rationalizations and irrelevant lies.

Even they don’t know why they did it, and are often completely baffled after the deed. It’s tempting to say “they were radicalized on discord”. But the truth is, they searched out plausible motivations online, and if they didn’t find any, just fabricated one, as several did. Therefore, censoring the internet won’t solve the problem.

As children, they were all described as ‘shy’, ‘quiet’, polite’, ‘smart’, ”awkward’, ‘loner’ – traits characteristic of autism and aspergers.

Ultimately they will all be exonerated and everyone who bullied them will be held accountable.

In the vast majority of mass shootings, the perpetrator is autistic. While it hasn’t been confirmed in this case, the shooter was trans, and I’ve found a strong connection between autism and transgenderism. The main reason is that autistic people are relentlessly bullied and marginalized. They don’t have friends and are treated like a monster where ever they go. They are rejected and isolated. So when an authority figure comes along and says, “Your problem is your gender. The solution is simple: just switch. You’ll get lots of attention and care from professionals, and when you are in your new body, people will like you. You’ll be popular and get dates.” They jump at the chance. That’s likely what happened in this case.

This seems pretty obvious but some parents don’t do it. As a result the child may never learn to make eye contact with anyone and this will lead to mental illness such as schizophrenia and autism. By the time they’re adults, it’s too late to teach this skill: eye contact is simply too uncomfortable and is avoided at all costs.

These services are run by the government and their incentive is to create more mental illness and suicide so they can hyperventilate about it and get more funding. You are far more valuable to them as a statistic. They prey on vulnerable people.

As autistic people we struggle. So the government should help us. Instead they exploit us (make us work and pay taxes and otherwise drive us crazy). I don’t get why we’re so eager to help others – who will just attack us online all day. Socialism won’t alleviate this problem. In fact it will make it worse.

When people bully us, is it to punish us for our behavior (not making eye contact) or is it to instigate us to act out in revenge? Many of the past mass shooters were obviously bullied for their autistic traits and acted out in violence. Was that the purpose of the bullying? It seems so unfair – to instigate vulnerable people to violence or self destruction (mental illness). It’s a game that the whole world plays and it’s great fun to them. And great fun to deny it and call us ‘crazy’ and ply drugs.

Children should never be forced to make eye contact. That is abuse. However they should gently but firmly be reminded if they are not doing it.

Eye contact expresses many things all at once:

These behaviors compensate for impaired eye contact and are the typical symptoms of ‘mental illness’:
