"In September 2007, a group of researchers made headlines when they reported a forty-fold increase in the number of office visits in which children had a diagnosis of bipolar disorder (BP)[1]. The researchers estimated that whereas, in 1994-1995, in about 25 out of every 100,000 visits a child had a bipolar diagnosis, the number increased to 1,003 per 100,000 by 2002-2003. During the same ten-year period, office visits by adults with a BP diagnosis almost doubled from 905 to 1,679 per 100,000 annually, suggesting that BP diagnoses reported by community-based clinicians have increased across the age span. But the very low base rate of this diagnosis in youth coupled with a rapid rise signaled a major practice change. "

That was 6 years ago.
This is a new thing for doctors.
Lantz was being treated for something.
As with new problems arising -and we all on this website can guess why-- and we all on here know just how slow the medical field reacts to new coming problems -- esp one they have created.

In the interview, Louise says he (Lanza) was on Medication. There IS no medical treatment for Aspergers. The attack was carried out by someone who was unstable. Someone with Aspergers is as likely as someone without Aspergers to be psychotic, or sociopathic, but the conditions are unrelated. I have Aspergers, and the only outward signs are lack of typical eye contact, an inability to recognize or reciprocate facial expressions and other non-verbal forms of communication. I sometimes take words and phrases literally, but this usually leads to humorous exchanges with others. I have an Engineering degree, and I'm quite apt at solving all kinds of problems, from mathematical problems, to Engineering challenges, or Logic type problems, probably because I am able to focus with a high degree of intensity on what I'm doing.
Like others with Aspergers, I have a highly developed sense of fairness and justice, and I adhere to rules and laws with a rigid doggedness, and am practically incapable of deceit. I would never be able to hurt another person, even if I was in a self defense posture, I doubt I'd be able to bring physical harm to another living being. I am a good, decent, law abiding citizen that has had NO run-in's with the law, or with other people; I hate confrontation and will attempt to diffuse potentially bad situations through rational discussion or dialogue.
Contrary to popular belief, even among health professionals, people with Aspergers actually have a high degree of empathy and sympathy. So much so that the experiences of others are often so powerful to us, we HAVE to consciously tune out those feelings because we can actually relive others pain in so much detail, it's difficult to bear.
I don't see things the way others do; I have a propensity to see things with objectivity, without being clouded by emotions or sensibilities, or biases. This can cause difficulty, because people who we don't agree with, wrongly believe we are opposed to their ideas, where we really just have a unique perspective, perspectives that can lead to novel or innovative solutions to problems. We are unlikely to be undeterred when told that our approach to a problem is unviable. This determination has lead to many of the greatest advancements in human civilization.
I'm not mentally ill, I am not sick, or broken; I am just wired differently (thank god) and I wouldn't trade Aspergers for all the money in the world.
To say these violent attacks are a result of Aspergers is as ridiculous as blaming them on diabetes, or dental abscesses.
Could he have Aspergers? Maybe, but it didn't cause his behavior. Violence isn't even one of the recognized characteristics of the syndrome. The fact that Lanza was on medication makes me highly suspicious that he had some kind of mental illness. If that's the case, the mental illness is more likely to be the cause of his rage, NOT Aspergers Syndrome. That makes no sense, if you know what AS really is.

I find this to be interesting and maybe telling-

http://xfinity.comcast.net/articles/news-general/20121223/US.School.Shootings.Gunman/

REDDING, Conn. — A former teacher at Sandy Hook Elementary School says she remembers the gunman who killed 26 people at the school as a smart, sweet boy in her second-grade class.

Carole MacInnes (MAC'-IN'-ness) says Adam Lanza did not require extra academic attention and he acted normal socially. She says she met his mother during parent-teacher conferences twice, but never his father.

The retired teacher said Sunday that Lanza was a gentle soul and she can't imagine what caused him to want to kill. She never saw him after the second grade.

The 20-year-old Lanza shot and killed his mother before slaughtering 20 children and six adults at the school Dec. 14 and then committing suicide.

MacInnes first confirmed to The Washington Post that Lanza was in her class at Sandy Hook.

Adam had Asperger's , I knew instantly when I saw his photo as it looked almost exactly like my son's autistic appearance and Asperger's gaze at that tender age. My son's only run-ins with the law both times were domestic situations, first with his Dad and second with me. Both could have ended up in fatal injury had my son had more accuracy and not stopped himself. This was before he was evaluated and diagnosed correctly, before he was on meds, so yes, it IS just the autistic spectrum disorder. This denial by the autism community suggesting that violence does not exist in autistic disorders is NOT helping autistic adults and their caretakers now, when we need more than ever to petition the government for supports and respite for lifelong caretakers!

Another commenter said it best, I cannot find the comment, but I will try to quote it as closely as possible, "The mercury injected in vaccines kills more than bullets from the gun"

Adam Lanza may have had schizophrenia, as has already been suggested here. But, again, if you look at what could cause schizophrenia, you'll find that it's not just a genetic flaw that has always been with us. In Olmsted and Blaxill's book The Age of Autism, they make a strong case for schizophrenia, autism, Parkinson's, and schizophrenia (et al), not having existed before the Industrial Age of heavy metal pollution in the air and water. The photo of Adam Lanza as a sixth-grader shows a happy, attractive, normal boy, while those taken later show a frightening, disturbed boy. Schizophrenia usually starts in the teenage years or twenties. My uncle had it, growing up near a sugar-refining plant in Reserve, Louisiana, in the thirties and forties. Would that be a more likely explanation for Lanza's insanity?

Apparently Adam Lanza was diagnosed with Aspergers:

“During their meetings, the couple mentioned that Adam Lanza had been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, an autism-like disorder, Levy said.”

Asperger's, Autism Not Linked to Violence

http://www.everydayhealth.com/autism/1217/aspergers-autism-not-linked-to-violence.aspx?xid=aol_eh-news_4_20121217_&aolcat=HLT&icid=maing-grid7%7Cmain5%7Cdl24%7Csec3_lnk3%26pLid%3D246696

“Despite media reports alleging that the gunman involved in the Connecticut school shootings had Asperger's syndrome, experts were quick to assert Sunday that there is no link between the condition — a mild form of autism — and violence.
"There really is no evidence that links autism or Asperger's to violence," said Geraldine Dawson, chief science officer at the nonprofit advocacy group Autism Speaks and a professor of psychiatry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.”

“We still don’t know what’s wrong with Michael. Autism spectrum, ADHD, Oppositional Defiant or Intermittent Explosive Disorder have all been tossed around at various meetings with probation officers and social workers and counselors and teachers and school administrators. He’s been on a slew of antipsychotic and mood altering pharmaceuticals, a Russian novel of behavioral plans. Nothing seems to work.”

School Shooters Under the Influence of Psychiatric Drugs

http://www.cchrint.org/school-shooters/

Fact: Despite 22 international drug regulatory warnings on psychiatric drugs citing effects of mania, hostility, violence and even homicidal ideation, and dozens of high profile school shootings/killings tied to psychiatric drug use, there has yet to be a federal investigation on the link between psychiatric drugs and acts of senseless violence.

Fact: Between 2004 and 2011, there have been over 11,000 reports to the U.S. FDA’s MedWatch system of psychiatric drug side effects related to violence. These include 300 cases of homicide, nearly 3,000 cases of mania and over 7,000 cases of aggression. Note: By the FDA’s own admission, only 1-10% of side effects are ever reported to the FDA, so the actual number of side effects occurring are most certainly higher.

Fact: At least fourteen recent school shootings were committed by those taking or withdrawing from psychiatric drugs resulting in 109 wounded and 58 killed (in other school shootings, information about their drug use was never made public—neither confirming or refuting if they were under the influence of prescribed drugs.) The most important fact about this list, is that these are only the shooters where the information about their psychiatric drug use was made public. To give an example, although it is known that James Holmes, suspected perpetrator of a mass shooting that occurred July 20, 2012, at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, was seeing psychiatrist Lynne Fenton, no mention has been made of what psychiatric drugs he may have been taking. Also note that all these mass shootings didn’t just occur in the United States.

1. Huntsville, Alabama – February 5, 2010: 15-year-old Hammad Memon shot and killed another Discover Middle School student Todd Brown. Memon had a history for being treated for ADHD and depression. He was taking the antidepressant Zoloft and “other drugs for the conditions.” He had been seeing a psychiatrist and psychologist.
2. Kauhajoki, Finland – September 23, 2008: 22-year-old culinary student Matti Saari shot and killed 9 students and a teacher, and wounded another student, before killing himself. Saari was taking an SSRI and a benzodiazapine. He was also seeing a psychologist.

Harris was on the antidepressant Luvox. Klebold’s medical records remain sealed. Both shooters had been in anger-management classes and had undergone counseling. Harris had been seeing a psychiatrist before the shooting.
13. Notus, Idaho – April 16, 1999: 15-year-old Shawn Cooper fired two shotgun rounds in his school, narrowly missing students. He was taking a prescribed SSRI antidepressant and Ritalin.
14. Springfield, Oregon – May 21, 1998: 15-year-old Kip Kinkel murdered his parents and then proceeded to school where he opened fire on students in the cafeteria, killing two and wounding 25. Kinkel had been taking the antidepressant Prozac. Kinkel had been attending “anger control classes” and was under the care of a psychologist.

Save a screenshot of the 60 Minutes site; how long do you think it will take before they remove the quote "he was on medication and everything?"

The big questions are:

What medication was he on? How many prescriptions were in his name at the local pharmacy or pharmacies?

How much of it will be found in his system at the autopsy?

If there is none, does that mean he was suffering from withdrawal symptoms?

And how much of this information will be available, even via Freedom of Information Act?

I think the Adam's picture could show a schizophrenic affect. I hope we find out soon.

I know one mother who worried that her daughter will commit suicide. This mother was constantly vigilant, saving her daughter's life several times by taking her to hospital. Then a "good doctor" prescribed an SSRI for this mother and than she said: "I don't worry anymore, if she wants to kill herself, let her do it". And her daughter did kill herself.

Another person, I know, who takes an SSRI drug acts like crazy. She loughs, when she hears about some tragedy such as death, an accident etc. She is now clearly lacking any empathy. This is what SSRIs do to the peoples' mind. WE have to remember that Eli Lilly is the company manufacturing both brain destroying thimerosal and SSRIs.

message to Bendetta : you mentioned your senator replying he had suffered polio and he wasnt going to listen to any vaccine criticism .

Can you post up your senators email address so we can send this person in the before and after photo's of vaccine crimes .....perhaps you've already done this ?

My MP wasnt interested in hearing my sob story (because this is how these bstrds see us) , until I showed her some pictures and she nearly fell off her chair . The general public are that dim that the words are treated in an abstract way that they can disbelieve our arguments but the pictures simply terrify them that we might just be right !

The Pharma Harma brigade are terrified of the pictures too .
Reminds them too much of the concentration camps 1939-45

I ECHO every commented word by Cia Parker and Bob Moffit, just like you Benedetta....

P.S... Katie, with respect to your comments about paranoid schizophrenia vs. Aspergers being a possible explanation for motive, again, to echo Cia Parker's comment---consider reading Harris Coulter's book--"Vaccination, Social Violence and Criminality"..a must read for in depth plausible look at what is happening with our children.

Respect.

C.A Parker and Bob Moffit -- Right on everything!
The prisons are filled up with violent offenders - there was a study done on them and they everyone had brian damage --or--- drug offenders -- and by now everyone is tired of hearing me say that it is the vaccines that started them down that dark path.

After all we have enough trouble convincing people what we witnessed as vaccine injuries in our own children, or the study on vaccines relationship to diabeties, or the study on vaccines and the relationship to asthma.

Oh, what could be causing all the trouble with those thyroids.

I was watching 60 Minutes during this report. A perfect example of the media failing to do its job--AGAIN! Opinions and theories from family friends were used to insinuate that autism = violent behavior.

Anne Dachel, Media

The association between SSRI usage and these acts of violence by adults and children is reaching ridiculously clear preeminence. Yet the causal role of these drugs remains obfuscated by the powerful drug companies.

SSRIs were banned in the UK way back in December of 2003.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2003/dec/10/drugs.sciencenews

US FDA officials balked and opted to allow continued profit-taking by issuing a lame "black box" type of warning.

I understand the desire to prevent the public from fearing people on the autism spectrum, demonizing them, if you will. But I think the bigger picture requires that we accept that the brain damage done by vaccines can take myriad forms. Harris L. Coulter, co-author with Barbara Loe Fisher of A Shot in the Dark, also wrote Vaccination, Social Violence, and Criminality: The Medical Assault on the American Brain, in which he capably supports his contention that everyone born since WWII who got the DPT vaccine (virtually everyone) sustained some degree of brain damage. Most people's brain centers regulating self-control and their feelings of compassion continue to function well enough that they would never commit such violence, but, unfortunately, not everyone's. This killer would be an example of someone who had suffered such brain damage, and I think it's a minor point to try to draw a line between the brain damage causing autistic behavior, and the brain damage causing murderous behavior. The best way to avoid both kinds of brain damage would be to avoid vaccines.
