In this article we introduce a neuropsychiatric developmental approach in order to provide a new perspective on the psychiatric nature of the Unabomber and to attempt to shed some light on the nature of his criminal behavior.

He used the arguments of logical positivism to assuage his sense of guilt. It's not as if most people who have been diagnosed with Asperger's commit murder.

A criminal complaint filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Seattle offers a glimpse at Robert M. Alberg's struggle with autism. It quotes e-mails he allegedly sent his sister and others revealing his efforts to produce biotoxins, including ricin.
