| I am sorry but I have no sympathy for those affected by Trump's actions if they voted for him. He told us what he was going to do and it was even written in Project 2025. There should be no shock. |

| A state senator here in Minnesota has just resigned after being arrested for trying to have sex with what he thought was a 16 year old girl. His arrest was made hours after he sponsored and introduced a bill in the State Senate to consider Trump Derangement Syndrome a mental illness. https://www.cbs... |

| They will probably put Wakefield on the panel since he is the one who came up with the Vaccines cause Autism message. He does live in the USA and we see that they don't care if you are a citizen or not to work for the government if you believe the message they are saying. |

| The question is, would you be better off continuing to work until you are laid off or the end of the year or not. If you don't need severance and can do it now, you might be better off doing so right now rather than waiting. Especially since the current administration will consider you a DEI hire. A... |

Sleepers (1996).
It is a rough movie however and I would not suggest it to anyone who is triggered by abuse. |

| Bill Gates is about the same age as my mother. Until 1994 (release of DSM IV), the only people that got Autism DX's were children who had extreme difficulties (or should I say needs). Most children of the lower and middle classes were simply declared difficult children and punished for their quirkin... |

| If you mean in the United States, then my answer is no. I do not agree with book banning of any type. Now, if the government wants restrictions on books read by children (such as in school libraries), then The Bible should be judged in the same way at other books, especially after reading Ezekiel Ch... |

| I saw this coming the minute Biden decided to not run for a 2nd term and even predicted it on Quora. The only reason he said he would not pardon his son was to keep in the running for a 2nd term. Now that it is off the table and the election is done, there was really no reason for Biden to not pardo... |

| The question is, does it matter to you? If it does, then you should make an attempt to obtain it. There are many reasons why one would want a diagnosis. One could be to obtain legal protections under the various disability rights laws in whatever country you are in. Another could be for self-edifica... |

The ruling though applies only to official acts as President and in regards to the July 6th cases. His payment to Stormy Daniels was before he was President and certainly was not an official ... |

When if came to Pervasive Developmental Disorders, there were separate categories for Autism, Asperger's, and then a catch all called PDD-NOS. The differences were really based on IQ and a few othe... |
