Hi, Butterfly,

We will get more information eventually.
The Autism and Personality Disorder information came from someone in the police department leaking information from the shooter's brother in Hobeken, NJ.

Even if he had autistic traits this doesn't mean he had autism.

Just as if he has things that can be related to depression and
anxiety.

It doesn't have to be bi-polar.

Steve the one thing that helped me was to focus on the heros and those that ran into the danger. The teachers that protected their kids, the emergency personnel, everyone in the town that gathered together to support.

Even those around the world that offer prayers. But, the first ones to have contact with this sad soul, the first responders, the littlest heros are the children that will go on. Rejoice in their lives, and feel honored in the way they are cooping, healing each other.

My heart does ache for the families, especially at this time of year, but the community of heros is immeasurable.

Yes you are so right Di-Marie,
I hadn't thought of it that way myself till I read a post on my facebook that
my nephew had written about the parent, that lost his child that is praying for the family of the gunman. And the teacher who was there for the children. The children who did all the hiding.

It brought home, that we are raising our kids to do the right thing. And that if we can keep working to make them the strongest, this is the right thing.

Dear Di,

Thanks for that.

It is true that the people in the town are expressing a great deal of love and compassion for each other.

I have been thinking a lot about this case....

I was very impressed, I mean, shocked.... I feel so sorry for the families of all the effected ones and, can imagine how they feel.... or probably I cant...

I feel so sorry because they were kiddies... not that older people "deserve" to be killed that way, but kiddies ? I dont get it, I cant imagine it or understand it.... However, working with a type of cancer that affect children, I have been reading a lot about why children die and stuff, and I want to believe the theory about the young people die at the right time, they were so pure, wise, perfect ! that their mission was accomplished really early in life... that explains many things to me... like when some babies just live a couple of months but their parents learn a lot in those 2 months...
So, Im trying to see this shocking event as that... like, literally 20 little angels had already accomplish their mission here....

Now, on the other hand, I have been thinking A LOT about this Adam guy... because recently I was called a "serial killer", I can only think, how can somebody kill someone ? why ? and I cant find answers but, I can imagine the hell he must had lived or was living to do what he did.... I have to say, I feel indeed sorry for the murdered... I never thought I would feel sorry for a killer, but it is true.... I feel sad because probably nobody noticed about his mental and emotional issues... or at least, nobody cared.... Poor guy.

I have no clue what mental issue he could have had... I dont have enough info on that matter, like, having autism would explain this ? dont think so but dont know.... even being schizo would explain it ? dont think so again but again, I dont know....

My prayers go to all those feeling this... you included dear Steve... Im aching too

Mayo, and everyone still reading this

Autism, or any other disorder would not alone be a reason for doing this.

It would be a group of things to cause this thing. And it would have to
be in his head that something was wrong, and going on.

He had to have been having some very rough thoughts to really be having
so many bad thoughts.


I to a degree can say its something a mother can feel. I personally know
that at one point before we found the right medication for the then 16 year
old son. I would have told you I didn't know if at some point I would be
visiting my son in jail for killing someone, even a member of the family.

Only because in rage, he didn't have a clue what he was doing or saying at times. And the mental health officials in my area. Hadn't been able to help him. They didn't seem to know what was wrong with him.

So I can see were his mother and even father could have not known what was in his mind. And he could have killed his mother without her being able to stop her.
