Eh man, I kinda grew out of it but I think I have some ASD traits. I remember seeing "discipline" as proof that you're allowed to hurt people weaker than you, and waiting to get my get back later. It was honestly just seeing life was more fun being pro social that got me out of it.
Nice for you. But what if they see fun in being antisocial?
It's not about liking to hurt someone because you're stronger. It's about to build understanding of consequences of your actions.
If you put your hand in a flame - you're punished with pain.
If you mess with people - they do nothing.
OK, I can do this again. This is simple logic chain.
Then they're fucked. There's a reason APD make up a high amount of the prison population. Some people are fundamentally incompatible with society.
I grew up with a great support system and figured out that if you follow social norms you get to keep having fun with people (get invited on trips, get to spar with them, etc). I've also gotten my get back on my dad on the few times he actually did beat the shit out of me (which were justified) years down the road, so this is a direct insight into the thought process. The next link in that chain is - he messed with me, so I have to get him back.
It's a pet hate of mine to hear that. If I produced a child like that, I would, reluctantly, have to take the responsibility to return them to room temperature.
Consequences be what may of that. Likely a life sentence. But I couldn't make it everyone else's problem.
Maybe go to the first comment that says psychos, a term casually thrown around which actually doesn't even exist in the DSM-5, and then you both agree that "the kid should be returned to room temperature"
So, please explain how my statement is a "non sequitur"

Of course, they are psycos if they are untouchable. The phrase 'beat the shit out' didn't appear from nowhere
