1. Is the inability to have a "normal" social life a normal condition? It can be one of the effects of Asperger syndrome, it can have different degrees of seriousness and there are treatments to improve the life of the patient. About being evaluated, how thorough or superficial was the visit? Because most probably, pleading guilty led the trial to an abbreviated form.

2. I'd like that wanting  an exemplary case, judges asked the police to investigate in every direction, trying to identify as many online trolls and harassers as possible and punish them, each one in proportion to the wrong done, if penally relevant, and, as Natasha's parents said she was bullied before her death, and I think they don't take that matter lightly, nor that they amplify accusations, as her father even had words of pity for Duffy, a thorough investigation should have been done in that direction too. Police can investigate also on a suspicion, if it's reasonably founded and if it would be very serious if true, not just on a precise formal report. It's not mandatory and it's up to detectives' instinct and experience, without a formal report, but if suspicion was founded and nothing is done, there could be other serios troubles, even suicides.

1. I find it hard to believe that harassing parents of kid that killed themselves is an effect of Aspergers.

2. The judge can't tell the police what to investigate, he/she just judges the suspect's who are prosecuted. And the police don't 'investigate on suspicion' in cases like these.

1. From what I read it could be a mitigating factor, he could not understand when sick black humour is inappropriate, or the limit beyond which from just inappropriate becomes cruel and/or harassing. He could also have developed an obsessive interest and repetitive routine in doing that.

2. Obviously the judges just judge prosecuted people, after police found enough evidences for a trial or caught the culprit in the act, but police can do preliminary and cautionary investigations on the basis of founded suspicion, and I'm 100% sure Natasha's parents didn't talk lightly about bullying, although they said they didn't know the names of the bullies, but just the name of their clique.
