Hi folks -

Since the issue is coming up, it is important to note that the
mental disorder associated with Seung-Hui Cho is believed by
people knowledgable in the field is best described as

Paranoid Schizophrenic Disorder

The spectre of autism was brought up when he was 8 years old,
and as far as I am aware was never an accurate description of
his conditions. Not everything that appears as autistism is
autistic.

More to the point, the possibility of autism was raised over 10
years ago, was investigated thoroughly and was deemed irrelevant
to Seung-Hui Cho's diagnosis. He was not autistic. Cho had
been determined not autistic by professionals who raised the
issue and could have taken the "easy way out" by making a
determination of autism.
