This is to all who suffer with autism or ADHD and use it as an excuse to hurt other people's emotions. Because i see ALOT of this everywhere.
As a person with autism + my brothers have ADHD and autism too which far greater than my spectrum. They never were jerks to me, I know that syndrome can make you feel frustrated and annoyed, but if they spill it against me, they apologize later, because I'm a human being too and I have feelings.
So for the love of who ever you believe to, DON'T BE AN ASSHOLE NO MATTER WHAT. There might be a sensitive soul inside us without you knowing it.
You might say "Oh, I went trough abuse and bullying and harassment". Oh didnt we all did? As far as I know, everybody especially people with psychological disorders like autism go trough bullying. I never had real friends for 20 years, I used to be abused physically and psychologically by teachers and classmates. But that didnt make me aggressive. If you know whats good and bad in this world, you should feel compassion alittle bit atleast.
If you feel frustrated and angry, spill it against something else, but NEVER against a human or animal. When I have frustrations, I hit my pillow, it relieves me.
Lesson learned.
One example: When my fiance went doing intership in a Special ED School, most kids were using their autism as an excuse to be an asshole towards him and their peers.

People like this are usually so locked up in themselves they are unreachable. That can only change if they themselves want to change; no number of remedial social classes will change that. There are others though for whom a food intolerance, metabolic disorder or poisoning causes a suppressed parasympathetic nervous system, where they are likely to lash out because their brain is in fight/flight mode constantly and identifying threats. These probably don't have a rationale/justification for their actions, and maybe could be described as robotic tantrum machines. For these, a change in lifestyle concerning food (VLC or ketogenic anti-inflammatory diet), regular meditation, or detox measures can bring the parasympathetic back online, and the person will be able to grow and develop social grace, if their bad habits are not found rewarding. Point is, sometimes they really can't help it, but it's not necessarily because they were abused, but because their brain is going haywire. Often in this case they really do want to grow, but their brain isn't giving them many chances. Being a jerk still isn't okay, but the solution is sometimes not discipline, but medical intervention. I have a theory that a truly compassionate person could tell the difference.
