Aspergers and Blackmail

MrNaive

Please excuse me for not fully understanding Autism to the fullest it's rather a new world to me. I am not on the spectrum (please forgive me If anything i say comes across as offensive its not my intention) 

Are people with aspergers understanding on the concept of blackmail, ie can they actively do it out of malious, with the intent of causing emotional distress/harm or do they not fully understand it and find themselves in a situation.

  • Don't worry Mr Naive, I'm autistic and I don't fully understand all aspects of autism either, because we're all different. I would guess the answer to your question is no, as I wouldn't blackmail anyone and I can't imagine anyone who I know is on the autism spectrum doing this either. Usually autistic people have a great sense of fairness and justice, and most of us have great emotional empathy for others. We do often misunderstand situations though and can be quite naive.
