autism doesn't mean he doesn't have emotions
Empathy, not emotions. Empathy: the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.

How can you possibly restrict someone from using electronic devices? This sounds entirely unenforceable without imprisonment.

From TFA, and given prior hacks, he's very skilled.

There was no connection made, GP merely pointed out their observation based on what he has done so far
He's a kid that "found" some pictures of an upcoming game, using dodgy means. But these pictures were publicly accessible, he didn't deceive an actual human to get them. Making them hidden, but public was a mistake by the company. The real reason this happens is that the police doesn't understand, wants to punish the kid ... and youth services has lobbied so that locking up minors DOES NOT REQUIRE PROOF at trial, doe…
In 100-200 years time from now people will be talking about this, just as we look back to barbaric times in the past now.
He is a danger to crappy security and those that fear free thinkers like him. There ought to be laws against locking people like him up. Rockstar said it cost them thousands of hours to recover...they could have asked him, and it might have cost them orders of magnitude less. Rockstar has hired the wrong people, lol.

As someone with autism, I lack empathy for (most) fake situations. Once I realized therapists and their ilk were lying about sad stories, I stopped having empathy for those sad situations. Ditto for fake news stories. Only mentally unfit people can pass a therapist's tests and be empathetic for people they know do not exist.
I'm not saying what you're saying is invalid, but I do have empathy for people that don't exist. It's called fiction and I find it quite enjoyable.
