Asperger's Is a Red Herring to Explain Newtown Shooting
Friends of Nancy Lanza, the mother of Newtown shooting suspect Adam Lanza, told 60 Minutes
on Sunday that he suffered from Asperger's syndrome, and that dealing
with the condition dominated both their lives. It's already been reported

any effect on his rampage. As the nation sets out to understand how
Friday's massacre came to pass, some are rightly worried that the high-functioning form of autism will become unfairly stigmatized.
