| Somebody can say I am feeling depressed or anxious and most people seem to be able to understand it is probably something temporary caused by a situation not clinical depression or anxiety disorder. With Autism the near total public and entertainment focus on social issues has precluded this. The si... |

| Aspies are no different from anybody else. Some are good and some are evil. It seems like a lot of criminals or their lawyers on news reports say that they have "Asperger Syndrome." I have seen the "Autism Defense" used a few times but it is not an everyday occurrence, at least ... |

| That's what I've read. Ironically, if the neo-Nazi had lived in Nazi-ruled Europe during the 30's and 40's, he probably would have been exterminated, because Hitler wanted to get rid of all "mental defectives." Not neccessarly The Nazis did have what amounted to special education for thos... |

Autistic savants as a significant minority of the autistic population has been demonstrated. But since Autistics are such a small minority it is most likely the vast majority... |

He will go relatively easy on Sanders and they will tag team Hillary and it will give Sanders stature both will already hurt the already unpopular presumtive nominee Hillary.
