More congenital analgesia evidence

From a NY Post article published yesterday:

At home, Adam often stayed in his room, said family friend Ellen Adriani. Nancy would plan his vegan meals days in advance and was teaching him to cook.

“His house was a safe place for him,” Adriani added.

The shooter, she said, had a medical condition in which he couldn’t feel pain.

“Nancy was teaching him to cut up fruit. Because he couldn’t feel any pain, he had to be careful with the knife,” she said.

And from the Daily News, a bar friend of Nancy said:

“Nancy told me he was burning himself with a lighter. In the ankles or arms or something,” he recalled of a conversation they had about a year ago. “It was like he was trying to feel something.”

This pain thing sounds like congenital analgesia, or congenital insensitivity to pain, and not like any sort of symptom of autism spectrum disorder.

The MSM has not connected the dots on this yet.

Western Civilization had been doing fine for 3000 years before bullshit terms like "autism," "aspergers," and "adhd" came along.

It's no coincidence they arrived at the same time as the liberal takeover.

Please, Half Sigma, please, do a write up on that Washington Post article. It is clear that Tabi is a prole, and she unfortunately isn't smart enough to escape it because the article mentions her SAT scores were below the national median (and she's white so she cannot benefit from college admission policies).

Adam Lanza followed a vegan diet. Vegan diets are notorious for nutrient deficiencies such as vitamin B12 and long chain omega 3s.
The symptoms of congenital analgesia described about read like the wikipedia page for B12 deficiency.

"Impaired perception of deep touch, pressure and vibration, abolishment of sense of touch, very annoying and persistent paresthesias"

Long chain Omega 3 supplementation has been shown to reduce violence.
