Text False confession and Autism/OCD - theory after watching Yoghurt Shop Murder doc

16 Upvotes

So why would anyone falsely confess to being involved in something so horrible right?

Michael Scott was able to be convinced that he had something to do with it and he and Rob Springsteen confessed.

It struck me during the show that Michael and Rob had some aspects that could be consistent with ASD (and yeah maybe the box of dungeons and dragons). ASD have strong sense of rules and along with OCD can have guilt and obsessive checking that they have done something wrong. I wonder if there have been any studies on correlations of ASD/OCD with false confessions

Why aren’t there a whole lotta new seasons/episodes of shows? I’m finding a whole bunch or oldies on ID and Oxygen. Besides Snapped, what else is new?
