[QUOTE="witzend, post: 569122, member: 99"] I've met many kids and adults with Asperger's, and I don't recall ever meeting anyone who wasn't a gentle soul. There is [I]so little[/I] verified information about this young man and his family. Making a connection with a possible Asperger's diagnosis just to sell ad space is [I]very[/I] upsetting. I just have a very difficult time discussing my feelings on this. It is a tragedy and an opportunity to converse about a vulnerability in our society. Or should I say "vulnerabilities"? I'm too used to getting pounced upon whenever I say anything, though. I guess that the most that I can say and hope that everyone agrees is that the gun owner was irresponsible. I don't know how to fix that. [/QUOTE]
