This should do it even more. Haven’t had a picture move me this way in a long time

thank you. as an autistic woman who always got straight A’s in school and was an early talker and an early reader, and who still reads prodigously and enjoys learning to this day, this is very true. it is technically classified as a developmental disorder, and people too often misinterpret that as “learning…

I don’t think the defensiveness proves anything other than what we already knew: the Trumps consider people with disabilities to be subhuman. Barron wouldn’t have to be on the spectrum for Donald and Melania to be highly offended that anyone could suggest it was possible that their exalted offspring was a lowly retard.

Right? It reminded it me of people being “accused” of being gay. Like, question why that is so offensive. A simple, “Thank you for your concern about Barron being bullied. He is not on the spectrum and he’s 10 years old so please respect his privacy.” should really be all she needed to say, if anything.

This is a man who allowed a young boy in a wheel chair to be removed from his rally and literally shoved out by his supporters who were grabbing at him. He doesn’t get to treat children like that and then protect his own from empathetic-albeit-presumptuous *words*.

my son is autistic. and this pisses me off. autism is nothing to be ashamed of. and when the first fucking lady goes to these lengths to show that her son isn’t autistic it just shows me my kid will likely never be accepted. he is the sweetest thing on earth. this is more scary than any part of facing his diagnosis.…

James Hunter isn’t Steve Bannon. The kid, autistic himself, posted the damned thing in an effort to explain Barron’s unusual behavior as something not to be mocked, but understood.

I can’t decide which is worse. The President-Elect’s family thinking that their son MAYBE having autism is worthy of a defamation lawsuit, or the President-Elect’s family using intimidation tactics against an autistic teenager who was trying to convince people to leave their son’s behavior alone.

So the future FLOTUS thinks autism is something to be embarrased about and is offended (to the point of threatening legal action) by the mere suggestion that her son is autistic.

It sounds like she’s positioning for a defamation lawsuit, which she’ll never file because it would mean that they’d have to prove that Barron isn’t autistic, plus they’d have to prove that the person who made the video did it with actual malice. Plus, the video would have to make a clear false claim, which as you…

no, I think the guy wanted to explain Barron’s behavior, in the face of people saying that barron was weird. I think it was done with the best intentions, and based on his own experience being on the spectrum.

Treating Autism as thought it were some kind of defamatory accusation is truly disgusting. What a horrible, terrible person. That poor kid.

This seems like an ill-advised lawsuit. What would the charges even be? I don’t even understand. If he is on the spectrum, their grounds are completely unfounded, and it would be discovered almost immediately. If he isn’t, the video doesn’t claim that he is as a fact, so there is essentially no case?

Also proudly mocking people with disabilities.

Hey Meliana, Barron having a learning disability and being in a specialist school is the sole reasonable defense for you not moving into the White House, at a cost of millions a week to New York and the tax payer.

The Trumps:

Dear Mr. College Degree,

And no, doubling an unskilled worker’s pay isn’t going to increase my pay......

I have no disdain for the people working minimum wage jobs. I believe however, an unskilled worker shouldn’t be making 95% of what I make

You’re one of the people I’m talking about!
