| The 937 souls aboard the ship St. Louis had no cheers for FDR who would not let them in. FDR said no, and back they went to be killed by the Nazis. Doing something right doesn't mean being perfect or being good, as Kraich has already pointed out. Even a stopped clock can be wrong 1438 minutes a day... |

| No, you are not my son. My son has been assessed and diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum and you have not. I am being diagnosed? Also this is an ad hominem comment. Furthermore one can look at the pages here right now and find that mild people have the same issues as I am bringing up. They ra... |

I give good eye contact. Also who cares if it is autism. It's still something that's suspicious and may be wrong. |

| If the websites that leave out the 25 to 30 percent statistic thought that the statement on the CDC website meant 65% or 70% of autistic children do not speak, they would state that as fact, but they don't, and there is no evidence that anyone on any site, is stating that 65 to 70% of autistic chil... |

| Where does it show you need six? You need five because you need all three in the first and two in the second. Then they need to impair you and limit you everyday for you to meet it and they need to be present in your early childhood. Ah, five! My mistake. I misread. Also my question has been what i... |

GET ATTENTION. Well since that's what his aim is, he's doing it very well. Good for him. He's being hammered on be... |
