There are 90 people listed in this category. ยง
A quarter of them -- 23 -- are convicted murderers, most of them mass murderers. There is 1 more suspected murderer and another who was falsely accused. Two more are people associated with terrorist attacks in some way (one of whom was 15). There are 9 more people who are primarily notable for being convicted of crimes (often cybercrimes or robbery). In total, then, 35 of the 90 Wikipedia entries associated with Asperger's syndrome are BLP of people having comitted violent crimes or property crimes. (about 40%)
Only one of the murderers listed was female (an 11-year old nameless girl).
I assume it is only a matter of time before Alek Minassian will also be in this category.
Knowing Wikipedia as I am beginning to, I suspect all this tells us nothing more than what we already knew. Men with Asperger's are quite a bit more dangerous than women with the same affliction.
