Take a look at the graphs from the LionAir crash:

You can see that both airspeed and altitude misread, in addition to AoA. If I understand correctly, the AoA is used by the ADIRU to correct misreading of the static pressure measured by the pitot-static tubes at high angles of attack. Thus one bad AoA probe can cause lots of symptoms simultaneously.
