Mental illness as an autistic child.

Like a key thing. What is the motivation for the killing? Is he killing on a scientific and clinical level b3cause he's curious? Or gets pleasure/excitement out of it. I.e. the act. Really only a psyche doc can properly evaluate that. How functioning is he with his autism?

Sorry if I'm being too blunt. Mental health issues suck. I've had a kid who had to be baker acted (72 hr hold) twice, but is much better now. His was more about sexuality and gender identity. Long story for another day.
