There has been no doctor or diagnostician who has come forward and verified that Adam Lanza had been diagnosed with any disorder, neurological or otherwise.
By the way, there are people who are sensitive to noise who do not have Autism or Asperger's Syndrome. Also, there are no cases of a person with Autism or Asperger's who has committed a planned violent attack.

Of course not; that would be protected by HIPPA laws.
“By the way, there are people who are sensitive to noise who do not have Autism or Asperger’s Syndrome.”
Sure. But no one is saying his use of earplugs is evidence of Autism, just explained by his autism.
“Also, there are no cases of a person with Autism or Asperger’s who has committed a planned violent attack.”
I don’t know about that one way or the other; I personally doubt it is true. I don’t see why being autistic would insulate a person from being violent any more than any one else. Indeed, since they are often bullying victims, I would suspect that, as a group, they’d be marginally —— marginally -— more likely to lash out in some fashion.
“there are no cases of a person with Autism or Asperger’s who has committed a planned violent attack.”

Note, I am not linking autism with violence, just your point that “no cases of a person with Autism or Asperger’s who has committed a planned violent attack.”
