I've been watching a lot of the paedophile hunter sting videos lately and almost all of the people they catch either have autism, ADHD , or in some cases a more severe learning difficulty.
Obviously not all autistic people are paedophiles , and not all paedophiles are autistic but why is there perhaps a disproportionately high number of child sex offenders who are on the autistic spectrum?
I think first of all, addiction is such a strong label it stops us looking at what it means to be addicted. Because technically everyone is addicted at every moment of interest, and when you are not consciously interested in everything, when you don;t really think about interests, your brain begins to put more time into running the body and relaxing. (Unless the body is full of stress hormones and needs food and/or heavy sleep before trying to relax and remain awake) The focus of attention/concentration is a rainbow wheel, but someone has to be in the horrible sections, but horrible is questionable depending on who you are.
