If you're 14 and you still don't understand right from wrong, you're likely suffering from Autism (like you suggested he may be earlier) or a personality disorder (psychopath).
None of us could say which for sure obviously, but the facts on moral development have been enshrined in science for well over 50 years. This was not a normal thing for a 14 year old to do, at all. |
No one claimed it was normal. The claim (not mine) was that all 14 year olds know right from wrong. Which is false. And studies clearly show that children develop a sense of morality at different rates. And this development can be stunted by trauma, among other things.
And not all psychological disorders equate to psychopaths.
