Austics often have severe problems with loud noises.

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.

That’s OK. I am not appreciative of thin-skinned idiots who wrongly accuse other Freepers of “attempting to equate Autism with violent behavior” when all I did was point out the most likely reason he had earplugs, which had nothing -— pro or con -— to do with the violent episode.

Not too sure of what is associated with autism, but several years ago I had a 10 year old child “attack” me while doing work at a customer’s house for no obvious reason. He was just doing something in the other room and suddenly ran past his father and started growling and pounding his fists on me. Parents were apologetic and told me that he had autism. They must have known he had issues because one of them was always between me him.
