IntroductionFor the past two decades, researchers have been using various approaches to investigate the relationship, if any, between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and violence. The need to clarify that relationship was reinforced by the tragic mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, in December 2012 by an individual diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome. The purpose of this article is (1) to provide an updated review of the literature on the association between ASD and violence, and (2) to examine implications for treating, and for preventing violence by, individuals with ASD.MethodA review of all published literature regarding ASD and violence from 1943 to 2014 was conducted using electronic and paper searches.ResultsAlthough some case reports have suggested an increased violence risk in individuals with ASD compared to the general population, prevalence studies have provided no conclusive evidence to support this suggestion. Among individuals with ASD, however, generative (e.g., comorbid psychopathology, social-cognition deficits, emotion-regulation problems) and associational (e.g., younger age, Asperger’s syndrome diagnosis, repetitive behavior) risk factors have been identified or proposed for violent behavior.ConclusionsWhile no conclusive evidence indicates that individuals with ASD are more violent than those without ASD, specific generative and associational risk factors may increase violence risk among individuals with ASD. Further research would help to clarify or confirm these findings, suggest potential directions for evaluation, treatment, and prevention, and potentially provide compelling empirical support for forensic testimony regarding defendants with ASD charged with violent crimes.

“…A previous study stated that a Japanese child psychiatrist, Toshiro Sugiyama, examined this peculiar reminiscence phenomenon in patients with high-functioning ASD. Sugiyama termed it the "time slip phenomenon" and reported it in Japanese medical literature in 1994 (Sugiyama, 1994;Tochimoto et al, 2011). Sugiyama claimed that this phenomenon is a characteristic symptom of ASDs.…”

Autism spectrum disorder is a neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by 1) persistent deficits in social communication and social interaction; and 2) restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities. The symptoms invariably appear early in development and cause significant impairment in social, occupational, and other important functions. Various abnormalities in the genetic, neurological, and endocrine systems of patients with autism spectrum disorder have been reported as the etiology; however, no clear factor leading to the onset of the disease has been identified. Additionally, higher-order cognitive dysfunctions, which is represented by a lack of theory of mind, sensorimotor disorders, and memory-related disorders (e.g., flashbacks), have been reported in recent years, but no theoretical framework has been proposed to explain these behavioral abnormalities. In this study, we extended Hebb’s theory in biopsychology to provide a theoretical framework that comprehensively explains the various behavioral abnormalities observed in autism spectrum disorder. Specifically, we proposed that a wide range of symptoms in autism spectrum disorder may be produced by the easy formation of rigid-autonomous phase sequences (RAPS) in the brain. Through the theory of RAPS formation, we explained a biopsychological mechanism that is a target for the treatment of autism spectrum disorders.

“…For example, Fallon (2013) suggests that exposure to trauma and/or poor parental bonding in childhood increases an individual’s propensity towards violence. In addition, case reports have described individuals with ASD committing violent acts who had a history of being bullied; a form of childhood trauma (Schwartz-Watts, 2005; Murie et al , 2002; Haskins and Silva, 2006; Tochimoto et al , 2011). Other research (Newman and Ghaziuddin, 2008) and studies of patients in hospital (Långström et al , 2009) suggest that risk factors for violent offending among individuals with ASD include male gender and psychiatric comorbidity.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the formulation and psychological treatment of a complex case whereby a combination of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) has resulted in violent and aggressive behaviour. Design/methodology/approach This paper provides a brief summary of literature in relation to ASD, OCD and risk-offending behaviour followed by a case study of a man (referred to as “John”) with a diagnosis of ASD and OCD who has an extensive history of institutional violence and aggressive behaviour. Findings This paper highlights the complexity of a case that may support research suggesting that impaired theory of mind, poor emotional regulation and problems with moral reasoning increase the risk of an individual with ASD engaging in violence, in addition to a comorbidity of ASD and OCD resulting in a more severe and treatment-resistant form of OCD. Originality/value This paper highlights the challenges faced when working with a patient with Asperger’s syndrome and OCD with entrenched beliefs that lead to the use of violence as a compulsion to temporarily overcome unpleasant thoughts related to low self-esteem.
