It's a legitimate and logical statement made by someone who is most assuredly on the spectrum, and likely lacks the visceral aversion many feel about the topic.

Judging those with Asperger's specifically for a well-documented aspect of their condition is an interesting take. Be sure to tell any friends of yours who suffer from depression to "just cheer up" while you're at it.

Or he's willing to "go there" and discuss the matter the same way people discuss grisly murder in abstract, detached terms.

What he's not aware of are the social taboos around discussing these topics, especially in a way that casts child sexual predatory acts as "less bad" than other acts. In other words, he's unaware of others' visceral aversion.
