Don’t Blame Adam Lanza’s Violence On Asperger’s

In a series of revealing interviews with the New Yorker’s Andrew Solomon, Peter Lanza, the father of Sandy Hook killer Adam Lanza, says that he doesn’t believe the Asperger’s was what drove his son to commit murder.

And he has science to support that. Adam was diagnosed with Asperger’s when he was 13, which seemed to provide some relief for Peter and his ex-wife, Nancy, who said the psychiatrist and others presented it as a positive step toward being able to find Adam some help. At least for them, Asperger’s finally put a name to the oddities about their son that were making it, as Peter put it, “crystal clear something was wrong.”
