So this fact means that they don't suddenly do something that is abnormal to their normal behaviour and there is no fragmenting of their consciousness.
They are fully aware of what they are doing and can talk about it afterwards. Also this guy talks about seeing photos of UFO's on computers etc. Well if he's ill surely he's making up things that weren't real and what people want to hear.
If he's ill then we should take anything that he says with a pinch of salt!

How many times does the same thing have to be said..its a brain problem...sometimes you cannot tell if a person is suffering from Aspergers simply by looking or listening to them.
In an earlier post I used Tourettes and Dementia as examples of brain issues that people found believable and acceptable..maybe I should have used Epilepsy, you cannot tell if someone is suffering from Epilepsy simply by looking or listening to them, in fact even a specialist cannot diagnose some forms of epilepsy without using an EEG.
It's not about using 'kid gloves', it's about using common sense in deciding the fate of someone who has a mental problem. What really comes across in the video that MargaretR posted is that he does not think he has done anything wrong..he has a totally amoral way of looking at what he did...a classic sign of Aspergers Syndrome
