As someone who has autism as well, I can relate with the frustration he must feel.
But one thing that I find odd is the wording of the article.
Did they or did they not find evidence (other than this refuted syndrome) that he abused his child?
If they did, I‘d not consider his petition either (because I have experience with child abuse and have no empathy with child abusers whatsoever. I wouldn’t piss on them if they were burning).
But if that actually is the only reason he has been convicted, then he needs to be freed.
