And I agree with the autism likelihood, and think the Italian inquisitor confused autism for sociopathy. I read the Rolling Stone article referenced in the Time blog and thought of it as clear evidence of autistic behavior before reading the Time article. http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/news/the-neverending-nightmare-of-amanda-knox-20110627?print=true
