Note the violence. This is a person that can't control themselves when things don't go their way.

> dozens of reports of injury or property damage. Eh, this is not outside the realm of expectations for an autistic teenager. Anyone locked in a cage will lash out, especially if they have neurological issues. There is a way to harness this energy regardless.

  > There is a way to harness this energy regardless. Yeah, it is called prison. I don't care if someone is "autistic" or "shit-head asshole". If you are a violent son of a bitch, I have a concrete cage with bars to house you in.

    You do realize that this is the "correctional system" right? With the goal to fix/correct/reintegrate people into society? What if you can do that before locking them up and throwing away the key? You have zero empathy, friend. Also - this individual is clearly a brilliant hacker and if that energy could be directed towards the white hat space, defensive posture, that would be invaluable. Guaranteed Mi6 will be trying to snag this kid for offensive hacking. He'd have been hired already by NSA if he was in the US.

  > not outside the realm of expectations for an autistic teenager That's very dismissive of people with ASD. There are plenty of people with ASD all over the spectrum, but most of them aren't violent. That in itself is enough of a reason for Kurtaj to be in medical holding, especially given his track record for stalking and harassing women.

      The guy harassed and stalked women and has attacked staff. This is literally stated in the article. Being neurodiverse doesn't mean you get a free pass on sexual harassment or violent behavior. Plenty of neurodiverse people don't harass women or violently attack people.

  The idea that we should, to some extent, excuse physical violence for 18-year-olds is disturbing.

    I don't believe I advocated for excusing their behavior, but I don't think it's fair to label a kid as "a violent person who can't control themselves"
    - happytoexplain 3y ago
      I disagree in most cases of 18-year-olds specifically, but even if I didn't, I think you should amend your original post to make your point more specific. It's hard to read it as not excusing his violence to some degree based on the comment you were replying to, even with a generous reading.

    Sometimes I wonder if I'm the bad guy, or if our whole society has sold out to evil.
