Line 35:

Even in an age when a child’s every irregularity is attributed to a syndrome, the idea of a normal weird kid seems reasonable enough, but there were early signs that Adam had significant problems. He struggled with basic emotions and received coaching from his mother Nancy.

She became a stay at home mother after Adam was born. When he had to show feelings in a school play, Nancy wrote to a friend Adam has taken it very seriously, even practicing facial expressions in the mirror. According to the state attorney’s report, when Adam was in fifth grade, he said that he did not think highly of himself and believed that everyone else in the world deserved more than he did.
