Asperger's and the Virgin Killer

Last week, Elliot Rodger murdered six people in Santa Barbara before turning the gun on himself. He was dubbed the "virgin killer" by the British media because he was still a virgin due to his Asperger's syndrome. Although I was lucky enough to lose my virginity three years ago, the vast majority of autistic men are not. This is tragic, and can only be fixed via a cure, not via better understanding. The reason that Elliot Rodger was still a virgin at age 22 prior to carrying out the murders was due to his Asperger's. It wasn't due to society's poor understanding or anything like that; it was due to his Asperger's and that alone. Had he been able to lose his virginity via a cure for autism or another sort of means, the six innocent people would still be alive. Predictably, neurodiversity has launched into their "autism doesn't equal violence" idiocy, even taking twitter with their idiotic #AutismIsNotACrime. This is the same organization that uses murdered autistic children as political pawns, and then denies it when it comes back to bite them. They even fight against peoples' right to die, which I find truly appalling. Neurodiversity clearly shows very little value for human life. There is no doubt in my mind that Elliot Rodger was a member of neurodiversity. His attitude that sex was owed to him is classic neurodiverse self-centered thinking. The fact that neurodiversity had a deranged killer as one of its members proves how dangerous they really are, and must be stopped at all costs. Had I joined neurodiversity, I may very well have turned into Elliot Rodger. Fortunately, I was able to accept that autism needs a cure, and it was with that acceptance that I was able to lose my virginity despite having Asperger's, not because of it. I wish someone could've told Elliot Rodger the truth before it was too late. If that had happened, all six people would still be alive and maybe even Elliot Rodger would've lost his virginity.
