"Humour about something that is deadly serious"

Recording daily events.



I am in a continual state of learning, so when this meme came through I had to think of why do we let uninformed people tell us their version of stuff  which may have importance in a lot of other peoples lives. 

The following essay in the New York Times explains that Autism has alway existed, We haven't always called it Autism .

Autism has never meant a lot to me, firstly Autism has probably always been there but it had been given a name over many years of research  The article says there may be a hundred types of Autism, caused by genetic inheritance, but  Trump and Kennedy blatant arrival on the scene with their interpretation has harmed the work done over time.

Rebecca Solnit's   in reply to the above.

Funnily enough I was reading Murr's latest funny essay on her web site and one of the commentators mentioned this as Murr lives in Portland, except it is not funny is it?

  1. Rebecca Solnit's response is very amusing, but the whole situation is far from funny.

  2. A blogger who lives not too far from Portland called her brother who doesn't live in Portland but is knowledgeable about the city. He did not know where the war was, or on what street it was happening. The good folk of Portland were rather puzzled about the war in their city, that they had not noticed was underway.
