I remember also, when Jayson Todd murdered Eurydice Dixon, much was made of him being autistic, and his lawyer used it to appeal against his sentence of life with a minimum of 36 years. Jayson Todd didn't murder Eurydice Dixon because he's autistic; he did so because he also had a sexual sadism disorder.

The same as the guy who murdered Stephanie Scott. There was a story that a teacher grabbed him by the neck of his jumper, strangling him, for walking on grass, but another story I heard was that he had this weird itch to murder a bride. He didn't murder her because he's autistic.
