This video answers the questions: Can I discuss the mental health and personality factors that may be at work in the case of Adam Lanza? Lanza was the perpetrator of the attack at Sandy Hook Elementary School that took place on December 14, 2012 in Newtown, Connecticut.

How the hell is any school supposed to handle a person like Lanza? Sending children with such severe social problems to a regular school is a recipe for disaster.

My wife adopted a pair of siblings with her previous mate. Long story long, the oldest sib is a psychopath. The ex ran away because of his behaviors. I moved in a year later. Had no idea what I was in for. Our school kept suspending him for violence. We couldn’t keep him at home, no one was safe anywhere around him. Law mandates he gets a FAPE. Parents here are visited by CPS and cops showing up over truancy. We couldn’t homeschool, school couldn’t handle him. It was a nightmare. At 9 years old I thought he was going to rape some smaller kid at his school. Finally he qualified for residential care. Everyone blamed us and treated us like criminals for causing his behaviors and for sending him away. It’s been unreal. People, especially school personnel, ignore these kids and deny the problems or blame the caregivers and turn a blind eye. There’s no help, it’s horrible. My stepson is superficially very charming, smiles warmly at all strangers. It’s all phony. He’s assessing what he can get out of them, and if he can dominate them. He overplayed his hand at the school eventually. He got very ugly and abusive with an aide that was a very submissive type person who had no boundaries. I was glad he finally showed what we live with even if they blame us for it. I was even more glad they finally figured out they needed to care about the other kids safety around him. They would not listen to me even though I had been documenting everything from within a month of moving in.

She was extremely passive and reluctant to enforce any limits with him. As school year progressed and he got more aggressive she tried to stop him from cutting a girls hair in class. He called her an effing b and continued to try to cut other kids hair. After that incident he started pooping his pants in class to create chaos. We found out the aid was doing ALL of his work for him and any push to get him to do any work was met with this kind of retaliation from him. He’d also smear it all over the bathrooms. Finally when he was caught with a metal piece of a folding chair he’d taken apart to make a weapon, he got his ticket to residential. At home he was trying to start fires and being sexually aggressive to his sister who was also very submissive to him.

No way is this reprobate worth going to jail for again. I’ve already been to jail over false abuse allegations once and it’s not happening again. In order to drive us out of district the school admins orchestrated a stunt to get me arrested. Lied to CPS and local Sherrifs. Too bad for them I kept perfect records of everything on this kid beginning from first month I moved in. I made everyone involved including my stepson regret that bull💩. I spent a year cleaning it up. I got a determination of factual innocence and sued the school. They settled for 145K. He got 2 1/2 years of therapeutic boarding school. He’s been home a year and what works for us is intense strict structure. He falls out of line he gets to be grounded until he fills out my accountability form with zero blame shifting. He hates those forms. Would probably rather be tazed. 🤣🤣🤣 When he’s gotten it done correctly to my satisfaction, he signs it taking ownership of the incident and the corrective action needed and then I file it in a binder in chronological order in my locked cabinet inside my locked bedroom. I’ve told him if he gets arrested for anything that hurts anyone, I will be taking all my binders to the prosecutor to help them get the max sentence possible because I’ve made sure he knows better now. He’s hasn’t tried anything violent since he’s been home. Zoom schooling is working out great for him. No opportunities to be invasive and irritating to peers. 👍 We’re pretty confident we’re going to get him graduated from high-school without a criminal record. Currently he’s requested to wean off the vyvance and then the Risperdal in order to join the Marines. 2 years 328 more days to go. I would advise people to never adopt from our system. Foster only. Getting stuck with a psychopath and blamed for all the kids they hurt is horrible. There are almost no mental health services that are useful. We’ve had to figure it out on our own, piecing together a system for our home that works and nail down the safety with locks and WiFi cameras. No unsuspecting parents should be tricked into adopting a kid like this and be forced to house a violent mental patient who has no ability to self regulate who cannot feel empathy who spreads ptsd to everyone else in the home until they’re 18.

you mentioned Adam Lanza had a mom who would indulge him by doing things like doing 3-4 loads of laundry per day. That's a big sign that his mother was co-dependent. Having an anxiety disorder and a parent who is co-dependent is literally worst thing that happen to a kid psychologically. Just speaking out of personal experience.

Lots of kids don’t like having their picture taken and will scowl or stare blankly when forced. His face looks to me more like someone who was surprised by the camera, uncomfortable, or too embarrassed to put on a performative smile. Also, this notion that “empathy” and “emotion” are what keeps people from killing each other has really got to go. If you’ve been centering your morality around how you *feel* about affected parties, I can promise that you are a monster. Empathy is always selective. If you actually felt empathy for every person to whom you owed consideration, you would be unable to function. Too many highly social people try to just use their empathy like a crutch, and they can be stunningly disgusting and selfish if they can’t get their emotional fix. At the end of the day, it was always only about how they felt.

@Michael Cueva Might be, though it comes off as slightly vague. My sense for Lanza and Rodgers (I don’t have a bead on Panzram or Bundy) is that they were largely suicidal. However, suicide can feel like validating the negative judgments of others (“good thing that waste of air took himself off our hands”). With the level of disrespect some people get or feel like they get, he might’ve found it desirable to reframe it as aggression just to ensure he wasn’t doing anyone a “favor”. (The “disrespect” is not necessarily “bullying,” but a hostility and contempt that is more ubiquitous and impossible to appease or even get acknowledgment concerning.)
@somexp12
@somexp12 2 жыл бұрын
@Michael Cueva “Hatred of humanity” reads like a literary flourish that doesn’t mean much of anything. Excuse me if I think too concretely for this stuff, but that sounds like a non-explanation. Rodger’s manifesto had a more notable theme of him obsessing over anything and everything that he perceived as affecting social status. Race, wealth, where he lived, the car he drove, and, of course, sexual partners. It is normal for some young people with social problems to think acquiring status symbols might cure their problems. When his tools were exhausted, however, just killing himself would validate those people he felt looked down on him. By manufacturing a grievance, however, he could feel momentarily significant. Can’t swear it was that way with him, but “hatred of humanity” barely feels like it means anything at all.

@somexp12 2 жыл бұрын
@Michael Cueva He actually did work for those things. Some he already had, given his father’s career. Socially, however, he’d lose by default. Ostensibly, he was diagnosed with PDD-NOS, which is sort of an autism spectrum condition without the repetitive behaviors and inflexibility. If real, this sort of thing can be crippling if you think about status at all and don’t have any special skill you can compensate with. There was probably no effective concrete “work” he could plan, let alone do. He could only blindly guess. Your last comment makes more sense to me than the one that came before. “Hatred of humanity” just gets used a whole lot and has a plethora of potential meanings. It sounds only like a literary device, and flourishes like this sound like mysticism to me. Presenting the associated concrete needs and wants makes it a lot easier, and what you say there is not far from my own guess.

Full inclusion works for students with physical disabilities and obvious mental disabilities, so think Down’s syndrome and physical disablement , also people with motor neurone disease , people with disabilities on the autistic spectrum should not be in full inclusion , it’s very difficult for neurodivergent people to adapt to an inclusive environment, hear me out people , I’m autistic and I have ADHD. People like myself can misunderstand social interactions and we have trouble understanding the social interaction of joking around and making fun of people as a friendly thing. We think different, we are not dangerous but we do need to be treated differently, I am not in any way giving this nasty murderer a pass , what he did was disgusting and was a terrible tragedy for all the families involved and he deserves to rot in hell ,my point is that he should have never have been to be in an inclusive school at such an early age, it was only going to lead to him becoming what he became, his hyper focus made him a killer, he could have been pushed into something else , nobody was watching his focus

Excellent analysis! I have a son who has ASD. It takes two very dedicated, patient, sane, caring, responsible parents to care for these children. The mother of Adam Lanza was irresponsible and lacked discipline. I’m not letting the father off the hook either. He knew his son had access to guns. The home was broken to a degree that rules were non existing. This case was a “perfect storm” for what occurred. My son is now 33 years old, has a good job and is married with a son. However, he calls his father or me every day for much needed counseling. I believe our extraordinary efforts has helped to keep him sane. Although we are never out of the woods, had we not kept a close watch over him growing up, our lives today would be very different. My husband and I find your podcasts very interesting and spot on. Thank you for educating so many people about conditions and mental illness.

All the diagnosis and the only treatments Adam received in middle school are initiated by his mother.

It's extremely hard to raise a kid with both ASD and OCD. There was once Adam had a fever and couldn't come out of his room, Nancy had to stay outside his room (because he wouldn't let her in) for the whole night and respond whenever Adam called her or else he'd panick.

When did the beautiful little boy turn inward toward darkness and fear and why didn't the father try to help him? There are many questions that Dr. Grande addresses here but he accepts too much of the official narrative of what happened. I would like to hear Dr. Grande's opinion about Adam's psychiatrist who later fled the United States to avoid prosecution for malpractice (not for Adam's case but for other irregularities).

Salvdor Ramos was a psychotic transsexual, that suffered from a vast assortment of sexual dysphorias, sexual identity conflicts, and anger because she was what he was the furthest thing from an young Autistic boy, that probably did not think of sex at all i find it amusing how so many people can find the threads if the scenario is played near the same. it is amazing what people will buy as truth these days, hey if it worked once!

What meds? It’s true Lanza had issues, but nothing that could be easily medicated. There’s no reason to think he had any form of psychosis or mood disorder that meds could address. Edit: I did another watch and noticed what I'd either forgotten or missed. He did have depression and that is associated with increased homicide risk. So, there's something. Still hope you don't mean giving Celexa to a 6 yo when you say "from early on", though.

One thing ive noticed in every school shooting case is that the shooter lacked a connection with their parents. This could be the parent(s) were abusive, ignored the kid or rarley talked to them, a lack of understanding of the child like the parent didn't understand the kid due to autism or other mental illness, or the parents didn't care at all like in lanzas case. A parents connection with a child is very important and if that doesn't exist conbined with other factors like bullying, loneliness, or isolation can create a human timebomb which leads to violence either in murder or suicide

Eating disorders can be comorbid with autism, some autistic people aren't able to perceive internal sensations like pain and hunger, and sometimes sensory issues limit what kinds of food a an autistic person is able to eat. Whatever the reason for the weight loss, you're right that his mother should have been concerned that he was becoming so underweight and got him professional help. If she was aware of the spreadsheet of mass murderers, that would be a point to consider inpatient care. Most of the time it's good to let people have their special interests, but a special interest in violence like that should be very concerning. The motivation to engage in special interests can be very strong, so it would probably have taken inpatient care to keep him away from material related to a special interest in violence. The writing about violence when he was at school should have been a cause for concern. There are so many points where he showed problems not typical to autistic people where people should have been concerned about him hurting himself or others. It's really tragic that he was left to become so obsessed with violence and had access to weapons.

I recall he used vocabulary that I woiuld never expect from even a college graduate. He has portrayed as some kind of silent autistic gun loving retard and he was very insightful. Not sure what his issue was with that school or if it was randome against society. It's worth looking back on people who were so desperate to do things like this. Kazynski was determined NOT to have the insanity defense. He wanted to change society.

I wonder if Lanza's mom herself had some form of mental illness or autism? That could explain why she made some of the strange choices she did in regards to her son's behavior. Perhaps 3 loads of socks a day didn't seem all that strange to her if she herself had similar compulsions but to a lesser degree. If she had an obsessive academic interest in guns because of autism or OCD, she may have assumed her son had those same interests in the same non-violent way SHE did. She may have had some of Lanza's same mental issues without whatever it was in him that made him violent, thus her threshold for "this is too odd we need to do something" was way higher than most people's, and she couldn't perceive things had gotten as dangerous as they had.

Clearly, your ignorance doesn't need an introduction. I've printed out the actual property tax documents for the Newtown area that clearly prove that nearly every homeowner, INCLUDING GENE ROSEN, NICOLE HOCKLEY, MARK BEARDEN, NELBA GREENE, and SCARLETT LEWIS, was bribed in the form of a forgiven home mortgage on CHRISTMAS DAY, 2009,......one year after the school had been decommissioned and closed due to the school being contaminated with mold and other biohazards, and was only being used for storage. HOMELAND SECURITY used YOUNGER photos OF OLDER CHILDREN as 'victim' propaganda. How do I know they were older? I compared the photos to the children singing behind Jennifer Hudson at the Superbowl just over a month later. One child seen there might have been just a coincidence, but not EIGHT of them. And to this day, the Newtown schoolboard has denied sending said children to the Superbowl. None of these 'parents' lost a child. Scarlett Lewis and the rest of these players are DHS-owned for life. There is an old saying that says that it's just easier to fool the people, than to convince them they they have been fooled. The Sandy Hook Promise organization is a confirmed fraud stemming from a government fabricated event that was produced as gun control propaganda. Obiden knows these are drills, along with Obama. Obama played us all with these drills-gone-live in the media as soon as he was elected. The media are in the loop that these events are drills, that's why the media were in Newtown ON THE 13TH.

At the age of 14, a child has the right to refuse medication and treatment. Seriously think about how you would "enforce" medication and therapy on someone adamantly refusing it. Physically drag him into the therapist's office? Force the pills down his throat? Disordered children are often oppositional and defiant, and the mental health laws are not in the parent's favor.

I think he saw that a lot of shooters took psychiatric medication and wished to avoid taking it himself. He studied the issue quite a bit, and there is a bit of a correlation with mass shootings and drugs like Prozac and Xanax. Whether they're a major contributing factor or not is tough to say, but there's a bit of evidence Adam was on Prozac and in the Anarchy radio call where he talks about Travis the chimp - he mentions Travis was taking Xanax as a main point to convey how much of "a complete mess" Travis would be if he were human. I imagine Adam was troubled and gave up on his humanity, becoming the type of monster he spent all that time studying in a "if the shoe fits" sort of mentality.

Some observations... The lethal elephant in the living room is Lanza’s access to exponentially lethal weapons. Why attempt to bond to a disturbed child through trips to the shooting range. Why leave an arsenal unsecured? Were there as many trips to a therapist as to the shooting range? Writing about the Sandy Hook massacre in the past, what has stood out in my mind is how Lanza’s extended family seemed to have abandoned him.

His lowest weight was 98 pounds, Lanza also wrote his documents that he had a hatred for “fat” people, and a appreciation for “thin” people, he also deemed “thin” people as “graceful and beautiful”, and encouraged people to stop eating. That’s blatant anorexia right there, not to mention, he also played Dance Dance Revolution for up to 12 hours a day, which could probably be some form of over-exercise, a behavior that many anorexics display. Also, just look at the photos of himself!! He looks so emaciated, he was literally wasting away due to malnutrition and anorexia.

Further, he sounded callousness when he told his mother that he’d care less if she were dead (a core feature of sociopathy-lacking remorse for their criminal behavior). However, after the school shooting, him killing himself sounded like remorse-unless it was his co-morbid depression (unrelated to possibly also being sociopathic) that led to him killing himself. But, Depression doesn’t usually cause them to lash out, be agressive or murder others. In severe cases, Depression usually causes them to attempt or commit suicide (or have suicidal thoughts) and even cut or self-injure themselves, as well as engage in substance abuse or starve themselves-not usually external by lashing out or harming others. That’s more rage and anger that causes someone to do that. What we do know is he was very angry and isolated, as well as obsessed with violence. Plus, the pics of that creepy look in his eyes comes across as rather disturbing and sociopathic looking. I’m beginning to think he had anxiety, depression, anorexia nervousa, and antisocial (sociopathy) personality disorder, in addition (and unrelated) to him also being on the autism spectrum. But the diagnoses matters less than if he was properly treated so this tragic school shooting would’ve never taken place.

I can see how the "accommodation" vs. "treatment" directions are controversial in a case with symptoms such as Lanza's. His mother was dealing with a situation all the time that no doubt became stressful to the point where she had to "let a lot slide", as opposed to consistently confronting his abnormal behaviors. It brings to mind the debate between broadly determinant forces of "Nature and Nurture" that must be taken into account in addressing the varying conditions of mental illness and behaviors that are manifested by those afflicted with it.

The media has completely missed the mark on how they described this gunman. He attended Sandy Hook Elementary as a child. I think there was a strong association between his mental health disorders and where his identity developed in relation to not only his attachment style with his own caregivers but the contrast and reinforcement he experienced probably starting in Elementary school. I cannot believe the negligence in what happened though. Makes me so angry that this could have been prevented with a little common sense.

Definitely a fascinating case. I think it's important to note that both of his parents were rather financially successful. I'm speculating that he possibly felt guilt and shame over not living up to his parents' accomplishments. This could be an influence on why he wanted to go to Cornell: he wanted to fit into the expectations that he thought were put upon him. But, rather ironically, he didn't take any of the necessary steps to be admitted to such a school - extracurriculars, etc. It's also interesting to think and wonder how exactly he planned on succeeding in such a competitive environment.

I just got done watching a new documentary from Ape Huncho on KZfaq that has a tiny amount of new information, and a LOT more context as to what Adam experienced in his daily life. I was struck by his hatred of society, I feel like he needed something to blame for him falling through the cracks. He seemed to be emotionally uncommunicative, I think it was a big part of why he empathized with Travis the Chimp, and I think that played a big role in why he went undetected by people in his real life. I've heard a lot of dark creepy stories, but that one really freaked me out because his behavior had something subtly disturbing about it from the start. It's like following a drunk driver knowing they're going to wreck.

I’m on the autism spectrum and I’m a bit annoyed by the comments. People are treating it like if you are on the spectrum you must be mentally challenged or something. While some on the spectrum are, there are also people on the high functioning end who having perfectly normal intellect, and some who even have higher intellect than most.
