Aw but that isn't funny because it doesn't effect your behavior that much.
Glad to see you white knighting, though, and policing language.
Unsurprising!

And your point is?!
I suppose in the back of my mind I was wondering if someone could inform me of symptoms of Asperger’s and if they in any way may have *contributed* to (not been the cause of) what happened in Newtown.
If not, why would the media even report it? It’d be like saying a mass murderer was a diabetic. How is it relevant?

Trump might be inclined to put the focus on mental health, but he'd be wiser to focus on why weapons of war can be bought by people who aren't even allowed to buy alcohol.

Keeping to themselves probably isn’t healthy in the long run, though I suppose it depends on degree and how one occupies their time. If my memory’s right, the Newtown mass murderer was pretty obsessed with a violent video game - not saying that was the cause of why he did what he did, but it may have contributed.
Can’t really argue with your second paragraph, but I think both need to be looked at

That's the truth. And truth be told: I am drinking. Have been dirnking for 6-7 hours. I am a big guy, though, and a big drinker, so even a liter of the vodka and some beer still has me on the better side of drunk.
