You are right about the Aspie black and white thinking.  I guess I say he knows right from wrong as this is the standard Texas has set for intellectual disability.  It is very low and probably one of the worst states when it comes to dealing with the judicial system and mental impairment.  I ride the bandwagon in many ways for all people with cognitive impairment as I worked on the stroke/neuro floor and deal with "perfect" people who begin to exhibit all sorts of problem behaviors when the brain has injury.  On top of his lower functioning, adding drugs to the mix only makes it worse.  Sometimes I just have to shrug and say, " A mind is a terrible thing." and old take on the NAACP commercial that used to say " A mind is a terrible thing to waste."
