Not any right-wing looney ideas. So, there, you have it. Holmes must have autism spectrum disorder.

Similar misinformation was reported about Virginia Tech shooter Seung Cho, based on faulty information the press got from distant relatives in South Korea and then ran with.

I have no idea what the shooter's ultimate diagnosis will be. I'm just reasonably sure that ASD won't be a part of it.
