Hmm, my experience is with Tourette’s, ADHD, OCD and various other behavioral problems. I would say that the individual I’m talking about was capable of far more deviousness and obfuscation than the average person, although they were considerably less clever than they thought.

Yay! Finally, I’ve arrived, hahaha

I’m sure a decent lawyer can spin “morally” into reasonable doubt.

That picture still terrifies me.

So there are no learning disabilities that (in your expert opinion) would explain her lack of cognitive clarity in deciding if what her husband was planning was wrong and/or whether he was serious about committing the crime?

An attorney? So, not a doctor then? Sorry, that was what led me to assume your assertion that "She clearly doesn't have extreme autism" was an expert medical opinion.

Ah, an expert, I wasn't aware you already had all the answers and assumed you were actually engaging in a discussion. My mistake.

Extreme autism and Aspergers; both can leave sufferers with an inability to clearly differentiate between the outcomes of various "good" and "bad" actions, depending on the severity of the disorders.

Maybe something high on the autistic spectrum; Asperger’s perhaps?

There’s a not-very-long, only-slightly-boring story to the user name. (It’s only partly what you think, but yes, I’m a massive fan)

I’ll go with seeing Trump being eaten by a wolf or a bear, if that’s ok with you...

A trooolee patronising comment, well done.

I don't even celebrate my own birthday (wow, I made another circuit around a distant flaming ball of gas in space; Yay me!) but I'll happily join in with people who choose to celebrate theirs, if that's what they do. Same applies to made-up crap like father's day, Valentine's day, and all the rest of the greeting card…

Yeah, I've always thought that sort of thing was a bit odd. My mum insists on sending us anniversary cards, too, which is a day I thought was only celebrated by the people involved in the relationship.

Again, totally ok with this.

I see nothing wrong with this, in fact I actually think it's a good idea. This is father's day we're talking about, after all, so surely if there's any day to be spending time with the children who make you a father, this is it.

This was discussed at some length on the original thread. Someone (OnGreyStreet, if memory serves) said she'd asked her mum, who was a nurse, and she told us that green bananas give you constipation and yellow ones do the opposite.

Awful Black.

There aren't enough fuck yous in the world for these assholes.

Hahaha, coffee-spit of the week.
