Hello,
I know a man thats now in his mid to late 30's who is Autistic.He does the same activities day in day out.He reads constantly maps and books on outerspace,Sci-Fi material.He dresses the same everyday.He drives but does not go out after dark.Pen pals have been a big part of his life.He believes he is something he is not such as a bodybuilder.He works out at a gym,but is not in any form a bodybuilder.This angers me coz he SHOULD know right from wrong.He was diagnosed as having a mild form of Autism.He speaks in a different tone when using certain words,then thinks he is talking like someone would if they spoke a different language other than English.Why does he do this things?

The things you describe can all be considered typical autistic symptoms. His using a different tone of voice, the other tone is more monotone perhaps? Thats normal too.
Not knowing right from wrong could be a problem, but if its just a case of not understanding social graces, which could be confused knowing right from wrong is normal. He is not hurting people or doing criminal acts I hope?
