She noted that he had been diagnosed in her program and then went on to say that she had done a literature search. She found studies showing between 5% of autistic kids growing up to have paranoid schizophrenia and 34% on the upper end. She said that's a broad range and there just hadn't been enough studies with adults. We need more time.

But just to go for maybe 20%, if one in five of the autistic kids that are in school, their parents have no idea that this could be coming to hit them. There's nothing that we can do about the grief for that. What we can do is set it up so that when they start to see a problem, they can petition the court to get extra help.

Because the problem is, unless their kid is severely autistic and went straight at age 18 from an IEP to a guardianship, maybe they're going to be okay. But the kids who are more high functioning, the ones you thought were going to go to community college, it's those ones that are not under a guardianship.

The way schizophrenia develops, it's like it's on a timer and it develops between, say, age 13 and age, say, 26. Those are the years and you've lost control. I really think that this is what happened with, say, Adam Lanza. I think that's what was going on. They knew he was autistic. They knew he had Asperger's. But I think something else was creeping in.

And I read an interview with his dad where his dad said he thought that, too. And once they're 18, you lose your power to force them. And then you try to persuade them. We all know what it's like arguing with a stubborn autistic kid who thinks you're wrong.

Yes, I know. So he was sentenced in 2017. It took a long time for him to get sentenced from 2013 to 17 because we had a lot of lawyer problems that weren't his fault. Basically, it was in sentencing that I heard this testimony and we were all shocked. And then the second thing from this testimony, the judge, when she sentenced, this wasn't the testimony, but from the transcript.
