I thought he did have one? That he rarely used it, but that he did own one.

yesterday I remembered that nancy actually did mention that when she went on her vacations she would call adam on his phone but would usually never pick up because he was paying very close attention to his games

honestly me too , I couldn't imagine him with an actual phone. Also my apologies for my wrong spelling and grammar , i was very tired at the time that I wrote that so I decided to go back and fix it

And I feel like if he had an actual phone, we’d see photos of it, and know what was on it.

1.) Did he ever experience any physical pain from not eating right or even enough? for example stomach pain , being light headed or feeling faint?

It's unclear if he ever experienced any physical pain due to his condition because it never had been reported. The closest thing to a side effect caused by his eating disorder is a hair lose that he brings up in one of his CulturalPhilistine videos.

2.) Did he ever add ingredients to his edamame or did he eat them without any

Again, it's unclear. Though, he liked salt so I suppose that he added a bit to his meal.

3) what was his preferred way of cooking his edamame? in a microwave or stove

I suspect that he only boiled it up and then ate it up straight from a bowl, but again - it had never been reported by everyone. That's only my presumption which ofc can be wrong.

5.)Why did adam want to be a ranger/in the army? was it to save or harm people , even to just "feel the power?

The urge to feel more masculine or powerful maybe?
Or to have an opportunity to use guns frequently... Definitely not for saving others because Adam even as a child seemed to not care about people.

6.)Was adam ever hospitalized for his eating habits

Nancy was concerned about his weight and reported it to his doctor, that's the only information about this kind of intervention that we have.

7.) Did adam own a phone

He did have a cellphone but rarely used it. The cops found it in his bathroom when they encroached 36 Yogonanda St. after the shooting.

you have excellent observation. Thank you for replying but is there any way you can expand further detail on the last one? was it possibly one of these two

Thank you, joaingo, for asking this interesting questions (wanted to message you on twitter today but cant find you anymore... - happy A-Day to you!) and thanks everyone for your answers. Regarding the phone: the Samsung was found in Adams bathroom upstairs, next to his Tech Club Card and his watch and other personal belongings, so theres a great possibility that this one was used by him.

Happy A-Day to you too! At first I thought adam would have had a 1 screen phone but now it makes more sense that he didn't since he wasn't really a phone enthusiast if you wanna call it that , thank you for clearing that up..As for the twitter situation I don't actually have twitter anymore nor do I have any other social media , If you ever have any questions for me or simply wanna discuss with me I could always give you my email or you could pm me on here. Thank you.

Both my answers relate to autism, but these are just speculations from personal experience. First, I've heard a lot of accounts from ex-military that autistic people do pretty well in the military in one way or another. Maybe not in a "go fight and kill people" role, but more boring, monotonous jobs that require a lot of repition and routine, which the military has a lot of that "normal" people don't like doing. Maybe there was some specific jobs in the military he found appealing on that note. However, I don't know if he was still interested in the military when he was older, I've only ever seen the claim that he had an uncle in the army and told Nancy that he wanted to be in the army too when he was a little kid. In that case, little kids just think the military is a cool and heroic job, like firefighters or cops.

Second, about his voice in the CultPhil recordings - autistic people often have a hard time controlling or being aware of the volume or tone of their voice. You only mentioned his tone, but in another video, he says something like "I can't keep yelling like this" in reference to him speaking at a very normal, even pretty quiet volume. At first I thought him being sort of mumbly/whispery in his recordings were because he was trying to be quiet because he was recording them at night when Nancy was sleeping, but I'm pretty certain now that that was just his normal speaking volume. He may have been sensitive to sound, apparently he was overstimulated by power tools being used outside of his house, and I've also seen claims that he wore ear plugs during the shooting which he probably would have needed to not get overstimulated/overwhelmed during the shooting, with all the alarms and gunshots and screaming going on. So, if he did have sensitivity to sound, he would've been more comfortable speaking at a volume others would find "too quiet".

Oh, I also want to add onto my point about autistic people's speaking habits and say that I've also noticed a few times where Adam made a joke that I thought was obviously a joke/sarcasm, but that a lot of other people take seriously. Probably because I also have no grasp on normal tones, inflections, or volumes of my or other peoples voices, lol. Autism sees autism? [half-kidding here.]
