I just want to set the story straight. Adam is NOT childlike. Babies have more understanding in their eyes. Toddlers may lurch around a bit, but they certainly don't act like that when they are hurt. My bipolar son does a fair Adam impersonation when he is being impossible, but it has taken him 8 years to get that bad. He was much better as an even younger child.
Now, Adam and his vengeful nature, overiding emotions, and lack of intellectual process to sort out his feelings DO remind me of something. I hesitate to say it because it will sound so bad, and I really don't mean it that way. I used to work with mentally retarded adults and some of them are just that way. Not all by any means, some were just the sweetest people you could meet. But, even one of the sweet ones erupted in Adam-like violence once when he was upset. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it. Now, that I'm thinking about it, the incident was VERY much like Adam.
