Pete Wharmby @commaficionado That fact the autistic children learn to mask, and appear to modify their behaviour based on your demands, means that you might think they have 'overcome' their autistic traits. They haven't. You've forced them to comply at a very high cost to their mental health.

No sabía programar. Simplemente no dejé de intentarlo.

I've been trying to tell people about RFK Jr. ever since he wrote that damned Rolling Stone article.

I'm ashamed to admit that I very briefly fell for his propaganda.

Thank God my kids had a good pediatrician who took time to answer my questions & set me straight.

Even before the election, I was trying to warn people that RFK Jr. would be the most dangerous member of trump's cabinet. He scared me more than Tulsi Gabbard, & she was literally a Russian asset!

I've been trying to warn people about RFK Jr. for about 22 years now.
