"You're by far the worst poster on TWeb" and "TWeb's biggest liar" --starlight (the guy who says Stalin was a right-winger)
"Overall I would rate the withdrawal from Afghanistan as by far the best thing Biden's done" --Starlight

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostI have a sister who has grandchildren who are, supposedly*, autistic. It is INSANE how she lets them get away with stuff "because they're special". It's like these kids have no hope of ever having a normal life, because they're being "protected".
On the other hand, we have a couple of autistic kids in our Church. One is pretty withdrawn, and hard to interact with. I wish I understood autism better. The other seems to really love me, and we have a bond. His mom told me "Erik loves you because he says you 'treat him normal'". What a novel idea! Treat people 'normal'!
*I say "supposedly", because, apparently, whatever testing (I didn't get deep into that with her) has been done reveals "slight autism"? So, it's like they've studied extreme autism, and don't realize they're pushing the grandkids to be "like that". They (my sister and her husband) seem to be amplifying any 'odd' characteristics the kids exhibit.
My granddaugher does very well academically, but she's very, very quiet. My grandson is five and still seems like a toddler (I haven't seen him in years ---he lives far away).

Originally posted by Bill the Cat View PostHaving grown up near Richmond, we had our local baseball team do several charity fundraisers. It's required by the league. Not that it's a bad thing, but I find the college kids that do these sort of things to be a bit more impressive because it isn't required. Plus, all that he would have had to do was go and sit in the lunch room. He didn't have to single out Bo and ask to sit with him. Good on anyone who does charity, but this was especially cool to me.

My eldest grand son is an autistic. He has a job and lives on his own. Yeah he is different, but so are a lot of us.Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
