On this episode of Special criminals, we will be discussing the case of the infamous Sandy Hook shooter, Adam Lanza, who was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome, which is now a part of autism spectrum disorder, a speech and language impairment, a sensory processing disorder, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, and anorexia. A special note on this episode, this incident sparked a massive debate regarding gun control laws and accessibility of guns for those with mental illnesses. Although these debates are noteworthy, we will not be discussing gun control on this episode.
