| I suppose we have to put things in context, first are we talking about those with autism without ID ie Aspergers in most cases, if so I suppose the r word is insulting. But for those with severe ID does it really truly matter as long as they are treated with equal respect. I mean using for someone w... |

| Since using the R word is derogatory to those with autism its weird if these are ND advocates doing this. This kind of thing wont help their cause What on Earth makes you think this is the work of ND advocates??? Seems to me more like the work of some sort of hate group. While it's true that most N... |

| Despite my slightly critical post aimed at Big Pharma mentality, I’m not totally against the tech if it helps people. Sad that they have created this view though putting profits before people. Creating customers rather than curing anyone is a common criticism I hear in relation to all medical condit... |

| Well, the Chinese economy overtook the US economy in 2016... Well, no, it did not. Not even close. The 2018 GNP of China was 13. 18 trillion dollars. That of the US was 20.64 trillion dollars. There was a big thing in the news in recent years about how China's "retail sector has now exceeded t... |

| Its often said Big Pharma doesn`t do cures just regular customers. This new potential new gene therapy within autism research requires regular therapy as opposed to a permanent one off treatment so probably very attractive to them we shall see. https://www.spectrumnews.org/news/toolbox/crispr-tool-c... |

| UBI would raise inflation so essentials would cost more defeating the objective. Instead of paying (using us money) 50c for a can of beans you`ll be paying $3, instead of $1000 rent you`ll be paying $5000. It would also wipe out your savings & any pension funds earned & payed out. This is ba... |

| Going to be honest, this is way bigger than Dr. Phil. There are all kinds of mental health providers setting up shop, schools being created, and profiting off of the so-called psychopathology of children labeling them constantly, medicating them, and giving them "eclectic" treatments. The... |

| I put aside reservations about possible long term effects to have the vaccine. I’ve read mRNA tech is being developed to help auto immune disorders in autism so decided on partly that basis to give my confidence in the technology since I’m on the spectrum and possibly hidden auto immune functioning ... |

| Well it’s not like these type of claims came out of nowhere like no one’s heard of Epstein links to Harvey Weinstein, Prince Andrew, Trump, the Clinton’s and bill gates. It’s not even a great leap of imagination that some well connected powerful rich men might use a “go to guy” like Epstein to get ... |

| I'd rather it be mellow like the Water Buffaloes-----that's all. Seriously. I think of the Freemasons as being something like the Elks or the Knights of Columbus----an organization which has its secrets, but is benevolent. I think my father was a member of one of these sorts of organizations---but... |

| Question: How do most of today's Freemasons feel about the endless parade of conspiracy claims? Do they mostly just find the claims amusing, or do they now see the ever-more-popular grand conspiracy ideology as a potentially very dangerous blood libel? Contrary to what some may believe, individual... |
