"Personality-wise, Cameron still has a ways to go, recently having been professionally diagnosed with mild autism. But like all Terminators to come before her, she's a sponge for information."
So now Hollywood has resorted to classifying robots as autistic? I find that extremely offensive, and I hope that it's a misprint.

I can't say enough about my admiration for him for going public with his Alzheimer's struggle, and educating a lot of people. I continue to wish him and his family all the best- after everything that our family has been through, and watching a lot of people close to me die over the years, Alzheimer's is still my biggest personal fear.

Interesting, as is the earlier study Children are naturally prone to be empathic and moral.
I think that I would probably want to distinguish between "bullies" and kids with conduct disorder though- that's a pretty specific diagnosis that goes way beyond just normal bullying.
