| Adam Lanza as a middle school student. |
I hesitate to post this, because it is still hearsay that Adam Lanza had any form of autism. There have been reports of mental illness and it just seems to early to speculate. There have been so many errors in the media's coverage of this tragic story. So perhaps that's why I am so reluctant to even address this issue. Please share your thoughts on this.
Among the details to emerge in the aftermath of the
Connecticut elementary school massacre was the possibility that the
gunman had some form of autism.
Adam Lanza, 20, had a personality disorder or autism,
his brother reportedly told police. Former classmates described him as
socially awkward, friendless and painfully shy.
While those are all traits of autism, a propensity for
premeditated violence is not. Several experts said that at most, autism would have played a tangential role in the mass shooting -- if Lanza had it at all.
