Did anyone see Morning Joe "explain" the shooter? He said it was autism spectrum that caused it.

Not any right-wing looney ideas. So, there, you have it. Holmes must have autism spectrum disorder.

1. SO-o glad I missed that. I wonder what he'll say it is tomorrow. nt

[HockeyMom]

2. No

Having worked with children, and adults, from all aspects on the autism spectrum.

3. And just where did Mr. Mourning Scum

get his M.D.? He is such a pompous ass who thinks he knows everything.

[morningglory]

4. Don't keep talking about gun control! nt

5. Finally, what I've been waiting to hear

Ass eyes spouts his opinion on what made this asshole do what he did.

Guess that should put an end to all the speculation, huh?

Now that morning joke has spoken.

6. Seriously?

I've been around autism spectrum people for 27 years. Haven't found a one wanting to commit mass murder. Doubt it has anything to do with autism.

7. What an irresponsible narcisist.

[Riley18]

8. What complete nonsense.

[longship]

9. FL medical association revokes Scarborough's medical license.

10. The sad thing is, Dead Intern's own son has Asperger's

a related condition. Should make for some interesting conversation around the table this Thanksgiving.

Similar misinformation was reported about Virginia Tech shooter Seung Cho, based on faulty information the press got from distant relatives in South Korea and then ran with.

We have enough trouble dealing with the neurotypical-dominated world without having you all think we're a bunch of mass murderers!!

11. I call bullshit

And Joe "What dead blonde?" Scarborough needs a long education in ASD, which I'm sure his loyal viewers with ASD family members will do their best to give him.

I have no idea what the shooter's ultimate diagnosis will be. I'm just reasonably sure that ASD won't be a part of it.
