Today a read on itv.com an article about Gary McKinnon. I didn't know about Gary criminal accusations, but the fact he was diagnosed as Asperger by Cambridge University professor Simon Baron-Cohen call my attention..

Gary McKinnon, 42, faces up to 70 years in prison if he is found guilty of gaining access to and damaging 97 American Navy, Army, Nasa and Pentagon computers. An autism expert has backed a British computer hacker in his bid to avoid extradition to the US.

Simon said:

"If, as I believe, the crime was committed through naivety and through an obsession - in this case with computers and trying to find information - without any intent to deceive, without any attempt to hide what he was doing, we should be thinking about this as the activity of somebody with a disability rather than a criminal activity."

It's a irony is not that autistic hackers are invading modern US computers systems. But that many scientists who build/invented many US computer systems, computer languages, computer crypt algorithms and computer protocols such as TCP/IP, FTP, HTTP, SMTP, SNTP, UDP, ICMP could be consider as Asperger's by just applying a simple pschycological test assessment. If this is not the case, certainly their children have traits.

There is an old english proverb depicting the situation:

He was caught in his own web/trap.

Take a look on the important universities on US. Many couples (who are scientists) are having babies with Asperger traits, who will probably grow up learnig computer systems, and invanding others computers with no insight of the real consequencces for them or for other people.

You know, there must be some respect from authorities for those intelligent subjets who spend hours writing codes, decifering problems and build solutions...

As Simon mentioned about Mr McKinnon's behaviour :

it is typical of the "social naivety" that is common in people with Asperger's Syndrome. It can bring a sort of tunnel vision so that in their pursuit of the truth they are blind to the potential social consequences for them or for other people

.

I personally think it is unfair to thoses acts as criminal acts. I totally agree with Simon and I would say its completly different from bomb terrorists who spread terror around the world killing inocent people. Give him a computer job(maybe an assistantship research job) rather than sentence him to jail for 70 years.

Hyperbaric therapy could improve symptoms of autistic disorders

In last years, some physicians believed that HBOT could improve symptoms of autistic disorders by increasing O2 intake and thus reducing inflammation and hypoperfusion in the brain. Of course, there is no consensus within the scientits about what are the real causes of the autistic spectrum disorders. For example, ack of oxygen by decreased blood flood as a cause of a autism is just a hyphotesys. So, there's no proof that inflammation or lack of oxygen can be generally associated with autism.

Hyperbaric oxygen for seizure disorders

Oxygen can be overdosed producing toxic effect, usually affecting the central nervous system. People with seizure disorders should be carefully monitored, as this treatment may increase the risk and severity of seizures. Therefore, it's important to always be adhered to a rigorous protocol before start HBOT. For instance, prolonged exposure to high amount of pressured oxygen may cause epileptic seizures.

Hyperbaric oxygen for lung disease

Hyperbaric oxygen must not be adopted in any case. Individuals who have lung disease including asthma, emphysema, obstructive lung disease, or any condition in which air is trapped in the lungs, are poor candidates for this therapy. Also, if you have had a catheter implanted you should opt out to undergo Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy .

Receiver Terrell Owens used HBOT for an ankle injury

Receiver Terrell Owens of the Philadelphia Eagles used HBOT for an ankle injury prior to playing in the Super Bowl in 2005. I mean, just 6 1/2 weeks after ankle surgery, refusing his doctor's advice. "I will play on Sunday," he said .In sports medicine, HBOT use is still controversial. Some medical professionals questioned the rightness of HBOT treatment. But, anyway, it might had helped Terrell's return to the Super Bowl.
