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 have no idea about autistic people as predators but I would expect there to be proportionately more autistic people who are victims - more vulnerable due to social difficulties
I have a feeling that researchers like to evade that subject for fear aggravating-encouraging stereotyping of a minority..
I remember reading that that was true. I also remember reading somewhere that victims were statistically more likely to grow up into offenders.
