As a person on the spectrum, I can only say that this lawyer is a despicable human being for saying this tripe.
@Nike @mathlover No need to call the autistic "short bus people"

1. People on the spectrum are disproportionately less likely to commit violence. This lawyer is demonizing people on the spectrum in a clearly disingenuous attempt to save his (almost certainly non autistic) client from blame.
2. People on the spectrum are by no means unintelligent. A huge proportion of cases, myself included, are high functioning, and would neither commit violence nor buy into QAnon bullshit like the Q Shaman did.
@mathlover @Nike Right, his lawyer is playing a "insanity defense" kind of thing but it's just thin gruel
