"I didn't think people with aspergers were psychotic."
A smattering of the Wikipedia ideas that may be relevant:
...is characterized by significant difficulties in social interaction and non-
verbal communication....Although not required for diagnosis, physical clumsiness and atypical (peculiar,
odd) use of language are frequently reported.A 2008 review found that an overwhelming number of reported violent criminals
with AS had coexisting psychiatric disorders such as schizoaffective disorder.A lack of demonstrated cognitive empathy has a significant impact on aspects of
communal living for persons with Asperger syndrome. Individuals with AS experience
difficulties in basic elements of social interaction, which may include a failure
to develop friendships or to seek shared enjoyments or achievements with others
(for example, showing others objects of interest), a lack of social or emotional
reciprocity (social "games" give-and-take mechanic), and impaired nonverbal behav-
iors in areas such as eye contact, facial expression, posture, and gesture.People with AS may not be as withdrawn around others compared to those with oth-
er, more debilitating, forms of autism; they approach others, even if awkwardly.
For example, a person with AS may engage in a one-sided, long-winded speech about
a favorite topic, while misunderstanding or not recognizing the listener's feel-
ings or reactions, such as a wish to change the topic of talk or end the interac-
tion.[9] This social awkwardness has been called "active but odd".[1] This fail-
ure to react appropriately to social interaction may appear as disregard for other
people's feelings, and may come across as insensitive. However, not all individ-
uals with AS will approach others. Some of them may even display selective mutism,
speaking not at all to most people and excessively to specific people. Some may
choose only to talk to people they like.Individuals with AS appear to have normal life expectancy, but have an increased
prevalence of comorbid psychiatric conditions, such as major depressive disorder
and anxiety disorder that may significantly affect prognosis.Adolescents with AS may exhibit ongoing difficulty with self care or organiza-
tion, and disturbances in social and romantic relationships. Despite high cogni-
tive potential, most young adults with AS remain at home, although some do marry
and work independently. The "different-ness" adolescents experience can be
traumatic. Anxiety may stem from preoccupation over possible violations of rou-
tines and rituals, from being placed in a situation without a clear schedule or
expectations, or from concern with failing in social encounters; the resulting
stress may manifest as inattention, withdrawal, reliance on obsessions, hyperac-
tivity, or aggressive or oppositional behavior. Depression is often the result of
chronic frustration from repeated failure to engage others socially, and mood dis-
orders requiring treatment may develop. Clinical experience suggests the rate of
suicide may be higher among those with AS, but this has not been confirmed by sys-
tematic empirical studies.

Murder–suicide:
"The cultural anthropologist Ernest Becker, whose theories on the human notion
of death is strongly influenced by Freud, views the fear of death as a universal
phenomenon, a fear repressed in the unconscious and of which people are largely
unaware. This fear can move individuals toward heroism, but also to scapegoating.
Failed attempts to achieve heroism, according to this view, can lead to mental
illness and/or antisocial behavior."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder%E2%80%93suicidePseudocommando
"They typically see their actions through a narcissistic lens as being morally
justified in revenge against their unfair treatment by an uncaring world, and wish
to 'go out in a blaze of glory.'"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PseudocommandoSpree killer--serial killer but without the cooling off period--almost no time
break--between murders.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spree_killerRampage killer "has sometimes been used to describe spree killers, but it does
not differentiate between mass murderers and spree killers."

I read he had a mild case of Asperger's Syndrome. That may have presented some
challenge in adapting socially but wouldn't explain the elitism, vanity, and
shooting spree plot (see YouTube video). I think someone missed pursuing a
subject in their recent therapy meetings. -

The stark contrast between Science and Christianity says it all.
by Island Man injesus prayed that all his followers be united as one.
but we see christianity divided into thousands of denominations.
this division is partly due to the fact that the book that christianity claims is the truth, the inspired word of a supremely wise god, was not written in a sufficiently unambiguous manner as to make its one true meaning indisputably clear throughout.. by contrast take a field of science - say physics.

Faith isn't all "Paul Broun"s (see "Evolution" at the link below) and JWs
leaders failing to find scientific agreement in making conservative arguments.
Others more liberal in their faith may criticize their efforts.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Broun#ControversiesYou might as well label music a failure for it not finding scientific agreement
for favorite songs (compared to better agreement for the objective math of the
music). There's understanding faith as such: "Some Christians view denomination-
alism as a regrettable fact. As of 2011, divisions are becoming less sharp, and
there is increasing cooperation between denominations (See denomination for a dis-
tinction between denomination and association in religious governance)."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DenominationalismNot knowing proof God is or isn't, the perpective I'd recommend is seeing faith
in the basic God concept as a choice to hope or not in a possible God beyond the
known things, and to have science keep us up on those known things. After all, if
this God is there, it wouldn't honor Him to misinform in His name. And knowing
it's a possibility, not a proven, to not see harm as justified by it.
http://glenster1.webs.com/basics.htmYou may fare better seeking agreement on scientific results and not wanting harm
over faith from believers and non- believers than expecting all to be one or the
other. Expecting science to prove one may be as much folly as expecting it to
prove the other. -

ANOTHER poke in the eye of the balloon-god YodHeVahHe
by Nathan Natas inhttp://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/next/evolution/first-metabolic-processes-detected-outside-of-cells/.
precis: a graduate student at the university of cambridge accidentally discovered the first evidence of metabolism occurring outside a cell.
to test the processes that could have helped spark life on earth, students in the earth sciences department who had been working on reconstructing the chemistry of the archean ocean, which covered the planet almost 4 billion years ago helped develop some experiments.
