In my job, I work with a brilliant programmer who suffers from mild autism. Today, the news came up about Rosie O'Donnell and her savage comment about Barron Trump. Well, all I can say is that people with autism , particularly my co worker, do not regard Rosie O'Donnell too kindly at all. The list of names and insults for Rosie would make a sailor blush. Quite out of character for my co worker it must be said to unleash this verbal dressdown of Rosie.
It was truly tasteless in the first place to demean people with Autism. What the heck is going on with Liberals and SJW's right now, are they all losing their minds?. Is it becoming trendy to act or say something untoward, or outrightly beyond the pale of decent and acceptable behavior ?
Today, Rosie tweeted a question, no different than hundreds of tweets before her own, by anonymous people.
Asking a simple question is a tad tasteless but certainly not "a savage remark".
The same has been speculated about Cruz's daughter. I observed her behavior in various videos to be 'of interest' also, but when I saw Cruz's reaction to her behaviors in a video, it was one of the two times when he impressed me. The other time was when he did not congratulate donnie on winning the primary. Since that time; however, he again lost any positive regard I might have held for him when said he would vote for donnie after all that donnie had said about Cruz and his family. Don't know if she is on the spectrum. Barron exhibits some behaviors that seem a bit 'odd', but I would have to observe a bit more to tell if he is on the spectrum or not. BTW, I work with students on the spectrum daily and have for many years, so ...
She's not attacking Barron. She's merely observing. I agree. I think he's on the autism spectrum too. And, yes, it would be a good opportunity to bring attention to autism. They shouldn't hide it.
seeriously? Why is Barron's medical condition (if indeed he has one) be fodder for the public? What happened to medical privacy? And what is making people decide he is autistic, anyway? The kid standing on a stage at 3 a.m. - way past a 10 year olds bedtime and appearing tired?

That's as may be, but her " verbal dress down" doesn't alter the fact that she is autistic, so she is wasting energy best directed at educating others or continuing to strive to meet her personal goals in life. IMHO
Funny how all the usual suspects - Trump haters - have jumped on board defending Rosie. I can only hope poor Barron doesn't have to read about these conjectures in the media. Small wonder Melania wants to make her platform to be against cyber bullying. I wouldn't be surprised if Barron has already victimized by it.

That was hardly his only public appearance.
He has been seen at home, walking down the street with his mother and in other family shots.....always with the same blank expression on his face.
