[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did anyone raise doubts about the Asperger's diagnosis? How could that be accurate? Aspies don't have language delays, and Lanza didn't speak until he was 3.[/quote] It seems to me that he had Aspergers and another mental illness with a teenage onset. I have a child with Aspergers and a mental illness and it is so hard to separate the ASD behaviors from the mental illness from a misbehaving child from side effects from the psychiatric drug. Diagnosing and treating mental illness in children is so much guesswork. I don't blame the Lanzas for being freaked out after his first terrible reaction to the psych drug they tried. It is really hard to give your child a psychiatric med in the first place (they aren't tested on children and they all warn against use in children), especially in a situation with an unclear diagnosis.
