Adam Lanza facts and curiosities. A thread. 🧵
"taking care of a corpse. Resting it, bathing it, sleeping with it... only once did." — screamerclauz
! this thread contains approved and real facts only, none of these are just my opinion.
TW: pedphla, traumatic events, @bus3.
1 - If Adam saw his mother leaning or leaning on something, he would often reprimand her because it was "inappropriate." Also, if someone did something in a way he didn't like, he would make the person redo it his way.
2 - Adam had "Asperger's Syndrome," which is a condition on the autism spectrum, causing extra sensitivity to his senses. He put black tape on all the windows in his room to block out natural light because it irritated his eyes.
3 - When Adam was around 0-3 years old, he had a speech delay, and instead of speaking English, he invented his own language to communicate his needs. However, when he realized that the people around him didn't understand him, he stopped speaking.
4 - Adam showed signs of OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) and washed his hands every time he touched something to the point that his hands would start to peel, which made them even more sensitive.
5 - Adam later created a YouTube channel to vent, where he commented on his opinions on things like: His personality, personality, pedphla, politics, suicide, and much more.
6 - Adam called himself "A very creative soul" in one of his opinion videos.
7 - Continuing on the topic of "OCD," Adam couldn't open doors without using tissues to avoid direct skin contact, he used to wear 20 pairs of socks a day, and his mother had to wash 3 baskets of laundry a day.
8 - Since Adam was very young, his mother warned others not to touch him, not even a pat on the back, not out of jealousy, but because even a light touch like that triggered crises and worrying stress in him.
9 - Despite this, also on his channel, Adam said that he hadn't hugged anyone in 4 years, and that he would like to cuddle with someone he loved. Despite his sensory sensitivity, this doesn't mean he didn't think about it and didn't miss it.
10 - Although psychologists and therapists did not recommend homeschooling for Adam, Nancy (Adam's mother) insisted and got him a 3-day sick leave, but she wanted more, so she went after it and managed to keep Adam at home.
11 - Even though Adam had many problems, school wasn't exactly one of them. It was never recorded that Adam suffered bullying; on the contrary, people tried to help him and make him comfortable in the environment.
12 - By committing the massacre, Adam believed he was freeing children from the evils of the world. Despite defending pedophilia (Pedophilia, not rape), he never liked seeing children in vulnerable positions, much less being disrespected. He believed they were human beings like us, but adults projected their own fears and beliefs onto them, so Adam believed he "freed them."
13 - Adam used his savings to donate gifts to children in need.
14 - A psychiatrist who treated Adam said that he was a "pale, thin, self-conscious teenager with a rigid posture, downcast eyes, and refusing to shake hands."
15 - Adam has a brother named "Ryan Peter Lanza," and they had a good relationship in general. They weren't necessarily very close, but they had a healthy and good relationship for both of them, arguing, helping each other, playing, etc. On the day of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, Adam took Randy's ID wallet. It is unknown why he kept it or if this was something regular for Adam. Ryan even needed to answer police for a while because the wallet was found in the pocket of Adam's corpse, but Randy was acquitted.
16 - Adam had visual distortion and considered himself overweight, especially when he was younger. He said that as a child he had puffy cheeks (which is clearly not true). However, in adolescence, Adam's BMI reached 14, causing his mind to start failing. Adam thought he was asexual. at the time because of his weakening mind.
17 - Lanza had several profiles on the internet that say a little about who he was:
Smiggles: Shocked beyond belief, Instant Menssaging
Kaynbred: Wikipedia, The High Road, Combat Arms, Veggie Board,
CulturalPhilistine: Youtube
18 - Adam died in a fetal position, curled up near the door. In one of his ranting audios he would quote "I don't want to strive towards my hopes and dreams, I want my dreams to be sprayed all over the walls." And so did. When lanza shooted himself in that class and dropped dead, his head blood spilled on the class blackboard which on top of it had colorful letters saying "Hopes and Dreams"
19 - Bob Skuba, Adam's hairstylist related that: he would just look at the ground, make no eye contact, when he was done he would call him out but he didn't moved from the chair eve with the man calling him, so he would grab him by the arm and take him out of it. Bob would make jokes and try to talk but Adam wouldn't say a word or look up.
20 - Untill the beggining of 6th grade, Adam sometimes smelled things that wasn't there, thats a comum trait for people with paranoia/hallucinations.
21 - In the pictures Adam hold guns to his head was almost the exacly way he commited.
