From The Washington Post

Adam Lanza was his name.
Adam P. Lanza, 20, obscure in life, infamous in death.
A really rambunctious kid, as one former neighbor in Newtown, Conn., recalled him, adding that he was on medication. He was a son of an accountant and a schoolteacher. A family member told investigators that he had a form of autism, a law enforcement official said.

From The Daily Mail UK

It was widely understood that he had mental disabilities - either Asperger syndrome or more severe autism.

A former babysitter told the Washington Post he was 'rambunctious' as a teenager and prone to temper tantrums.

He had to be medicated to control his moods.

Instead of gun control, we need oversight of the psychiatric profession and heavily restrict the use of "mood stablizing" meds.Subscribe to *Big Pharma*

I've dealt with the autistic. This is bullshit. They don't do this stuff. It was overwhelmingly the medication (I call them "murder/suicide drugs").
And I'll repeat that when someone kills that many children, he is sexually attracted to children.

Not saying yes or no to your theory just yet.
But I would like to see the evidence which aided you in drawing your conclusion. ... assuming, of course, that it isn't a series of personal experiences.

It's not, but Google Thomas Watt Hamilton.
Why would someone commit a mass murder of children? He has to have something against them. When people murder people it's because they feel humiliated and want revenge. Why would this guy want revenge against children unless he feels they've done something to him? Like torment him sexually? At least in his own disturbed mind.
Time will tell, at least for those who don't automatically chalk it up to him being a Manchurian zombie with a chip in his head.

I'd say a tormented mind can read all sorts of things differently than a normal mind. Torment need not be sexual in nature. For instance, he might have been ridiculed throughout his childhood for his awkward behavior and lack of social skills.
In a non drug damaged brain, he most likely would have handled the torment differently. But with the sort of damage induced by psychiatric meds, it may have been all that was necessary to cause him to act out as he did, with delusions and hallucinations driving him to view small children as the cause of his anguish.
Who knows for sure what his inner demons were, but I'd say the drugs are what unleashed the insanity which followed.
