Each person with autism is a different, unique individual.<\/p>\n<p>Autism does not predispose people to violence.  Confusion, frustration, anxiety, and profound sensory discomfort can be associated with autism, and these issues can be set off by circumstances or other people.  But aggression and autism are not hand-in-hand.  Aggression and human beings, however, unfortunately are intertwined.  Sky might be guilty of hurting his mother.  But was he aware at all of the consequences of his actions, if he even did them?  Probably not.  There is a death.  There is not necessarily a murder.<\/p>\n<p>I am not sure what else to say about this, it has gotten me all muddled and sad.  I feel for Sky&#8217;s mother, and I feel for Sky.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do we even know that Sky Walker did kill his mother?
