Closest person? You mean the brother who resides in NJ? Yeah, that is certainly close. How long had it been that Ryan Lanza was NOT in contact with Adam Lanza? Again, the statement that is attributed to Ryan Lanza is that he THOUGHT Adam had Autism Or a personality disorder. That is the diagnostician you are willing to die upon the hill for?
People on this forum have decided to perseverate on one minor detail, that has not been confirmed in any form, and are claiming, without any evidenciary facts, that Adam Lanza had Autism. I've been insulted numerous times by these indiviudals, and you think I have a problem with communicating with people! Wow!
I'm through. You people may believe anything you wish. IMO that which you and the others are fabricating is no worse than what the anti-gun nuts are doing. You don't need to bother replying. As I stated, I'm done.
Repetition is needed because you are apparently slow, or in some sort of denial that autistic kids can be bad, too.
Family members in both cases have come forward stating the boys were autistic. That’s the best evidence, one way or the other, of the diagnosis that will be avialable publically, and you know it.
Connecticut school shooting: Adam Lanza was assigned psychologist
It appears now that the authorities made it official that the killer was autistic:
While I agree that autism does not make a person violent, when combined with some other disorder, it can be shocking. There is a great book on this that I read:
Young, Violent, and Dangerous to Know
Scholarly Book discussing the rare, but dangerous, overlap of autism and sociopathy.
http://www.amazon.com/Violent-Dangerous-Psychiatry-Theory-Applications-Treatment/dp/1608769526
And the idea posited by the zealot that autistic people can’t be violent is disproven by a number of public murders. For example:
Autistic Son Kills Father in front of Computer Class

Killer had autistic disorder: court

It’s not a mystery; a child who grows up with a disability that leads to bullying (like Asperger’s) may develop violent feelings toward his tormenters. Sometimes bad things happen as a result of the torementing of someone who already has issues.
From Wikipedia:
Anxiety disorders are common among children with ASD; there are no firm data, but studies have reported prevalences ranging from 11% to 84%. Many anxiety disorders have symptoms that are better explained by ASD itself, or are hard to distinguish from ASD’s symptoms.[167]
There are many anecdotal reports, but few systematic studies, of aggression and violence in individuals with ASD. The limited data suggest that, in children with mental retardation, autism is associated with aggression, destruction of property, and tantrums.
A 2007 study interviewed parents of 67 children with ASD and reported that about two-thirds of the children had periods of severe tantrums and about one-third had a history of aggression, with tantrums significantly more common than in non-autistic children with language impairments.[29]
A 2008 Swedish study found that, of individuals aged 15 or older discharged from hospital with a diagnosis of ASD, those who committed violent crimes were significantly more likely to have other psychopathological conditions such as psychosis.[30]
More than half of US children diagnosed with ASD are prescribed psychoactive drugs or anticonvulsants, with the most common drug classes being antidepressants, stimulants, and antipsychotics.[136]
You wont get anywhere with soldierdad unclechip- I had the distinct displeasure of beign the target of his/her obsessive need to berate and belittle those who are less than perfect- and then the further distinct displeasure of of him/her clasping his/her hands over his/her ears when I tried explaining to him/her the reason for his/’her mistaken nasty assesment of me and resultant nasty replies by him/her was an eye openign revelation of just how nasty soem folsk can be- apparently for the purpose of making htemselves feel better abotu themsleves-
“Confused? Gunfire is painfully loud.”
Some is louder than others. 22 lr is not ‘loud’. .45 acp is LOUD...painfully so. 12 ga 00 or slug is LOUD...painfully so. 5.56 is less ‘loud’, maybe just ‘almost loud’.
This all begs the real question, of course...who really did this Sandy Hook thing? Likely not Adam...?
“What he did was evil...”
What was done was evil. What was done...by whom? I too believe that what was done was not done by Adam Lanza. Who did it? Where is all the gun-ban noise coming from? Look there. These ‘events’ are orchestrated to get the sheeple masses to be ok with gun confiscation. It ain’t gonna happen here...We the People are not we the sheeple. It is coming down to a matter of life and freedom...OUR life and freedom. To HELL with EVIL, and those who really are the EVIL ones...
