From [livejournal.com profile] beccastareyes: "The autism spectrum and the jackass spectrum are disjoint."

I know some jackasses. I know some people on the autism spectrum. The overlap between the two sets is only as much as would be expected by chance. Having Asperger's, or any other autism-spectrum trait, is neither an excuse for being a jackass, nor a reason to be one. Autism doesn't make you a jackass, and my friends who are autism-spectrum aren't jackasses, nor does their autism push them toward jackassery.

If you act like a jackass and then say "it's not my fault; I have Asperger's", you're just plain wrong. Having Asperger's doesn't make you a jackass any more than being left-handed does.

C'mon Katrina -- you MADE that doll? On PURPOSE? Was there ANY possible situation in which THAT doll wasn't going to go evil somehow?

I have to SERIOUSLY question Katrina's judgement.

Also, I note that they set up that there is a "good coven" and an "evil coven." Note that Katrina's coven was responsible for putting her in purgatory, trying to destroy Ichabod, killing Ichabod's son ... conclusion, Katrina was a member of the evil coven.

I am NOT impressed with her demonstrated ability to make wise life choices.
