Also, consider how quickly Barron and his mother might choose to be "interviewed" about autism under the guise of her anti-bullying campaign. This could all come together especially if denial is no longer an option within the White House.

Ooo, that's ANOTHER really great thought!! I'm really going to have to work HARD, now, so I don't get too excited with the prospect; and, thereby, being disappointed, if it doesn't come to fruition.

Indeed. It might offer some form of détente between the two extremes within the world (or, at least, nation) about the matter of autism. Who knows? Maybe more ideas, more facts, more dialogue and more understanding could bring about some much needed change.

I'm not sure if you're talking about the extremes between those knowledgeable / accepting of Autism and those NOT knowledgeable / accepting of Autism----OR, if you're meaning the extremes between NTs and ASDers----cuz, I wouldn't, exactly, count Rosie as an NT, as, practically, anybody in the medical profession in Baltimore, will tell you that she was down here, at Shepherd Pratt, and got an MPD evaluation / diagnosis (my theory is, it was brought-about by her father molesting her, as-a-kid, cuz she was a carbon copy of her mother, in looks).

I agree, that it couldn't hurt----at least, going-by what she has ALREADY said, in support.

I meant both groups. More discussion brings everyone closer to the same goals.

I TOTALLY agree that NTs seem to often enjoy, saying: "Woo-hoo----look at me, doing something wonderful" (even ASDers)----but, I wouldn't, exactly, call Rosie an NT (see above).

I wouldn't trust a damn thing Trump says on autism. He thinks vaccines cause them and I'm pretty sure his VP thinks the same (wouldn't be surprised if the rest of his dumbass family thinks the same). He'll do more harm then good, notably by going after vaccines.

Actually, I ALSO think that vaccines might be a cause----A cause, NOT THEE cause (or, more specifically, metals)----and, I'm not the ONLY one, here.

I don't think Trump is anti-vac, I think he just questions whether kids are getting too many vaccines at the same time, and some of them at too young an age. I think it's a fair question, and the fact that experts dismiss it out of hand makes me more doubtful of their authority, not less.

Regarding Rosie, I don't think she should have said anything about Barron because of her relationship with his father. No matter what her intentions, people are going to make negative assumptions due to their history. She should have left it for others to point out, and if no one ever did then so be it.

Yep----and, in regard to the thing about dismissing stuff, out-of-hand: How do WE know they're not just doing that, cuz they're being bought-off by Big Pharma----it makes ME more doubtful, as WELL!!

GOOD point----but then, Rosie is KNOWN for running-off-at-the-mouth, before she engages her brain; and, quite frankly, in her defense, people SHOULD be able to separate the 2 feelings; but, there's just entirely TOO MANY sheeple in this country (in this case, somebody says "Rosie's being mean----let's get 'er"; and, others are like "Okay, YEAH", without putting even ONE OUNCE of thought into what was actually said / why they're going after her).

I would rather Trump say no more about autism because I doubt it would be good.
Trump met with prominent anti-vaccine activists during campaign

Quote:
This past August, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump spoke with prominent proponents of the discredited link between vaccines and autism, including disbarred British physician Andrew Wakefield, at a fundraiser in Florida.

^^ Well, like I, and many others have said, it could, very well, be yet another sign of Barron being Autistic----PE Trump being, yet another, desperate parent grasping at straws.

Anyone here actually read The Art of the Deal? Apparently it contains an awful lot of oddball details of the building process, stuff like ventilation shafts and other minutia that wouldn't interest the layman, and are suggestive of a special interest, especially odd in a book supposedly about deal making.

I had forgotten that! I read The Art of the Deal in college.

Never read it.

But saw it on the bookshelf of the guy who ran the family business I used to work for (along with books by Sam Walton).

And from over hearing how my boss spoke to leads on the phone, gently getting as much money out of them as he could, I figured that "THAT must be 'the art of the deal' in the book title". Lol!

It's not an uninteresting question, and this video seems to unintentionally support the idea further.


@ 1:03-1:22

If he is, it might also help explain the motivation behind Trump boarding the anti-vax bandwagon.
