Re Cumming's son & Autism
I have a grandson with some attributes of Autism.
His dad, like most dad's who love their kids, will do anything to "look after" his son. He is now 12 and has had "issues" since say 2 years old.
The laddie is bright but only functions well when "his world is his normal" when things change and are "not normal" he crumbles. He attends an " after school class" 3 nights per week for counselling which is around $50 for 30 minutes - his dad also spends an hour or 2 every night helping him "- 3 years on he has shown marked improvements and can now cope much better than before although he can still have meltdowns but 1 every so often & not 3/4 days in a week when his mum has to pick him up from school - the fact that he is 3 years older might also help him.
Another son has a neighbour with a son with autism - this son is now 30+ - 1st in Astrophysics and an MSc in something. Unemployable other than as a part-time waiter in a hotel.
You cannot blame Dominic Cummings for doing the best for his son - his best on this occasion was not well thought out but in my mind understandable.
Ferrier woman - totally stupid.
Trump attending a fund raiser when a colleague had CV - mad - but then again he is mad.
