There is a large awareness about Ronald Reagan happening in the media and in magazines. I was wondering about autism and Ronald Reagan. Yet more then autism what about developmental disabilities. My job is to learn about Republicans, Democrats, Green Party and popular culture to try to inspire the public about autism and developmental disability inclusion and opportunity. Can you tell me what can be inspiring to you as a person with ASD, a parent of a child with ASD or as a professional \ researcher with concern to ASD about this video above.

Are there any other Ronald Reagan quotes or videos you would like to share?

What does Ronald Reagan have to do with Autism? I'm not sure what you're asking for.

Ronald Regan is no hero. He's another articulate politician with a wealth of feel good rhetoric that obfuscates the real world consequences of his policies.

What does he have to do with autism?

This belongs in the politics section.

Moved.

Possibly "Autism Politics, Activism, and Media Representation" best fits with the OP's initial post.

Post was / is about inspirational words that can be derived by one specific politician who happens to be relevant in the media now. To use similar phraseology in awareness may entice base support of and related to X ideological framework or derive mainstream familiarly in appeal due to histological programing in similarity. However autism itself has nothing to do with Republicans or Democrats. The idea of hope, change and similar usage of words in projection can entice minds.

It would seem despite a constructive intent others cannot look past the mainstream ideological mind-frame toward other causal pathisms in potential.

Yes I watched the video. The idea is to find psychological usages. However I won't be invoking the presidents name and even the current president. Also I cannot fathom heaven or hell like in the video beyond emotional and psychological components in those living. I cannot seem to do anything beyond that for some reason.

Yes bigots do exist they are scum.

I don't think everyone would agree he was a good president, or a hero for that matter. And I concur, I don't understand what your asking for: do you think Reagan and other U.S. politicians were/are on the spectrum?

Inspiration can be universal. Why was Reagan so successful in his speeches? Does the characteristic and relating modality in study reveal how he achieved? I do not know whom the people on the internet are but for inclusion and fairness for people with substantial disabilities in the form of developmental disabilities since birth I need to learn the best possible ways to reach the public. Special interest (of and relating to relevant money interest) have failed to create substantial change for inclusion.

Do you hope for the politicians and business folk in their mental sky heavens to create change. I do not think I believe in them. Instead I beleive more in average people who are also influenced by the past and present. I study and learn how this world works. I think to study the so called elite and how society works should be encouraged but I am finding it difficult to discuss it with others.

Reagan forced an end to the Cold War and freed Eastern Europe from Soviet Control. Now while radical leftists hate Reagan for it, the people of Eastern Europe actually built statues of the man.

Polish admirers of Ronald Reagan say they will erect a statue of the late US president in Warsaw to thank him for helping to end communist rule.
They say the 3.5-metre (10.5ft) stone and bronze statue will stand opposite the US embassy in the Polish capital.

"The statue is a way for his legacy to live on," said Janusz Dorosiewicz, a businessman behind the private project.

In 1989, Poland became the first nation in Eastern Europe to defeat communism. Reagan died in 2004 at the age of 93.
"This is an entirely private initiative undertaken by Poles in Poland, the United States and Canada," Mr Dorosiewicz said.

"Reagan was the person who defeated the communists and opened the way for freedom in Poland," he said.

The organisers estimate that the statue will cost about 140,000 euros (£94,000).

It will be unveiled on 4 July 2007 - US Independence Day.

In commemoration of what would have been Ronald Reagan's 100th birthday, the Liberal Alliance (LA) now wants to name a street in the capital after the former US president, reports Ekstra Bladet newspaper.

“Reagan won the Cold War without firing a single shot,” said Lars Berg Dueholm, the party's political group leader at the City Council. ”That makes him one of the 20th century's greatest statesmen and it deserves to be honoured by us here in Copenhagen.”

Dueholm, who is also a member of the council's street naming committee, where the proposal will now be presented, pointed out that Denmark has a tradition for honouring the greatest foreign politicians by naming a street or a town square after them, for example Churchill Park.

He said that the Østerbro district would be a good place for the new street name, preferably near the America Plads (‘America Square’).

So really, I think the left wing smear campaign needs to stop.
