I don't know what to think. There are apparently different degrees of Aspergers. But he must have known he was doing wrong surely. And if people with this disability are dodgy when let loose on a computer, as you say Jack, all of them should be banned from the Internet. His mother says he'll take his own life if extradited. Here in UK, if a person is deemed unfit to plead due to a mental disability, they cannot be charged or brought to court. I know my niece (who is not severely affected) is always on her laptop, and so far as we know doesn't cause problems!
