Would you post a citation for Cruz being on psychotropic medication? I have seen only references that he had stopped going to counseling. Would greatly appreciate having that information.

Also, has anyone seen a diagnosis mentioned?

Cruz was getting treatment at a mental health clinic for a while, but hadn’t been there for more than a year, Broward County Mayor Beam Furr said during an interview with CNN.

The chances that they wanted an evaluation and that a psychiatrist would have wanted to prescribe something are high with regards to his behavior.

"Autism" was mentioned in the following, but that would be highly unlikely. Even Asperger's would be a terrible and probably dishonest stretch. You know that any board that evaluated him won't be talking to the media. The info will probably come out as the criminal case goes on, though. Such info was even exposed from the tightly controlled and sealed Holmes case.

Cruz started throwing eggs at Speno’s car with no warning, Speno recalled. He and a friend chased Cruz back to his house. "We were pissed off, so we knocked on the door and his mom came out," Speno said. When the two told her what happened, Cruz’s mom had a strange reaction. "She said, ‘No, my son would never do that. He’s inside sleeping,’ " Speno recalled.
