Austics often have severe problems with loud noises.

Not really a shocker here.

1) What is Austics?

2) Assuming you meant Autistic, where is the evidence that Adam Lanza had Autism (or Asperger's Syndrome)? 3) I work with Autistic children, and am not appreciative of those who are attempting to equate Autism with violent behaviors such as what Adam Lanza did.

Austistics often have severe problems with loud noises.

Even soft noises.

I recently got rid of a roommate who I suspected had Asperger's -- something neurological (her mother was schizophrenic). She had severe sensory issues. She bought tons of rugs for everyone to tiptoe around on and even wrapped the bathroom hook lock in tape because it made too much noise when inserted into the loop.

Other things she did? Hoard food (e.g. several jars of mayonnaise and cartons of eggs, all past their expiration date). Totally paranoid -- would barricade her door whenever a guest stayed over. She put a slip of paper at the top to see if someone had entered her room (slip would fall out).

Can anyone guess why I wanted her out?

I read an article years ago that advanced the theory that hypersensitive hearing may be an underlying cause of Autism.
