“work with Autistic children, and am not appreciative of those who are attempting to equate Autism with violent behaviors such as what Adam Lanza did.”

That’s OK. I am not appreciative of thin-skinned idiots who wrongly accuse other Freepers of “attempting to equate Autism with violent behavior” when all I did was point out the most likely reason he had earplugs, which had nothing -— pro or con -— to do with the violent episode.

Hmmm. Me thinks you doth protest too much. Thin skinned appears to be your middle name here as evidenced by your use of personal attack.

Evidence of Autism = use of ear plugs. Hmmm. Nope. That is NOT one of the characteristics for Autism as identified in ANY diagnostic instruments or the DSM-IV or DSM-V. Sorry, but thanks for playing.

YOU did, whether intentional or not, attempt to equate Autism with violent rages, as the behavior Lanza engaged in was NOT the wearing of ear plugs, but the murder of 26 people at Sandy Hook, and one person in his mother's home.

I strongly suggest you seek help for your own rage issues.
