Johnny Schmidt was diagnosed with a form of autism called “Asperger’s Syndrome” at age 6. He is now 15 and a freshman at Bear Creek High School. Some of his classmates, who he wants to be friends with, have told him that they have been told by their parents that autistic kids are prone to violence and should be avoided. Johnny is distraught and wants their friendship like all high school kids desire. Is there evidence to support the parents’ claim that autistic kids are more prone to violence than “normal” kids? You must have at least 3 National University articles to support your paper.
