As professionals and lay leaders in the fields of special education and mental health, we at Matan would like to issue the following statement:
There is no link between autism and violence, and insinuating otherwise does a tremendous injustice to people on the spectrum who already struggle against prejudice and discrimination.
For a detailed article on the subject, we recommend the New York Times article, “Don’t Blame Autism for Newtown”.
