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.
ASD can certainly have an affect on someone's understanding of the law and what's right and wrong, especially with all these new snowflake lakes regarding people being offended online. Unfortunately the police, CPS and courts don't take this into consideration and see this as an easy target to get convictions of they take advantage of someones disability for a conviction rather than fixing the issue with common sense. You will find that most people in these roles are only interested in getting the convictions so they can get a promotion to pay off their mortgage
While autism or Aspergers could be a mitigation to consider when sentencing it does NOT excuse rape, which is what's been described here.
Anybody unable to understand that is themselves in need of care - if necessary, in a secure unit.
Sexual assault and rape are not the same thing.
You could be done for sexual assault for wolf whistling at someone.
Some autistic people are characterized by aggression, but this is due to sensory overload and the inability to control their condition. Only 0.2% of autistic people commit a crime with intentional infliction of evil. And, by the way, this indicator is much higher among "ordinary people", so the question is who should be more afraid of. I'm not talking about blackmail; they are incapable of such a thing. I have already asked about this at [link removed by Mod] and they explained everything to me, so I'm not afraid of autistic people anymore; it's worth being careful of healthy people, who are much more dangerous.
