Rosie O’Donnell Defends Speculating That Barron Trump Is Autistic

Rosie O’Donnell has taken to her website to defend herself after being slammed for suggesting on Nov. 21 that Donald Trump’s son Barron is autistic. Here’s why she chose to publicly speculate about Barron. Rosie O’Donnell, 54, has been defending herself on Twitter ever since sharing an anti-bullying video that featured president-elect Donald Trump‘s son Barron on Nov. 21, which questioned whether he was autistic based on certain behaviors he displayed during his father’s campaign. But on Nov. 26 Rosie decided to address the matter head on by writing an emotional message on her website where she defends speculating about Barron.

“Here is how it went down,” Rosie began the message. “My 3.5 yr old daughter Dakota was diagnosed in September with HFA – high functioning autism. I have been immersed in that world/reality since. learning – reading – asking questions, It’s all autism – all the time for the newly diagnosed as we try to grab onto anything to keep us standing. The knowledge we r not alone, there r others living this too. When I saw the anti bullying video that mentioned Barron it spoke to the symptoms many ASD kids have it was educational and informational. These symptoms so many do not understand– I thought – how amazing IF it is true.”

Click here to see pics of Barron Trump “IF it is true – I tweeted from my heart. It would help so much with the autism epidemic. 1 in 55 kids is an epidemic. Donald and I agree on that and not much else. I feel he is a clear and present danger but this autism subject had nothing to do with Donald. Though i admit he does trigger me in all ways. I have no ill will for his children –or any children –and if u knew anything about me –u would know that. Donald does not have the power to change the facts to re write history so speak true – stand tall. THE WORLD IS WATCHING. For those who felt me a horror what can i say humans we try our very best and fail often. Peace out as we try to save democracy from this madman who thinks OUR country is his.”

Before Rosie addressed the matter on her website, she got SLAMMED on Twitter for sharing the video. “You have no interest in Barron. You want to stir up trouble. Play fair. Don’t attack kids, Rosie! This is low, even for you!” one user tweeted. “Insinuates he has autism. Using autism to hurt Trump and a little boy? Offensive to those with autism,” another Twitter user wrote. “So low!! Amazing that her hatred overflows to his child. You disgust me Rosie,” another user tweeted. Many of these users thought Rosie was continuing her feud with Donald by attacking his child. Still, if she was being honest in her message, that’s not the case.

If you need advice on children I doubt Rosie is the one to consult......

However if you have a cheeseburger that needs disposed of or some carpet to be cleaned she can certianly help.

It’s a shame all of us don’t know that whatever is of Rosie’s interest must be our interest too and paid attention to. She’s coming from her heart after all and that’s the same as God’s heart isn’t it?

I have an autistic grandchild who is now 20 years old and is one of the most loving people in the world. To attack (verbally or otherwise), even for O’Donnell, is unfair to any child/person so afflicted. She has no right, even if she also has a child with this horrible condition. Children with Autism have not brought this upon themselves so leave them alone. May she rot in hell for even questioning it. Hopefully, if Trump is able, he will initiate further investigations into finding the cause for Autism and most importantly dedicate finding a cure to halt it. Only in American, 1 child is 55 is an epidemic as O’Donnell has stated, lets find a way to fix it.

Would Mexico accept people fleeing from Trump as refugees?

I dunno. I mean, even MEXICO has standards!

Funny how the Obama girls were off limits but Barron isn’t. Sort of like Trump must accept the election results but other’s can stage riots and a recount.

The only time I’ve seen him was election night and the poor child was trying to stay awake. I was laughing and was wondering whether they woke him up or he had been up all day and half the night.

Rosie the concern troll tries to get around the prohibition of criticizing the president’s children.

So Trump has room in his heart for kids with autism but is a complete danger to every American? Her logic doesn’t make any sense whatsoever.

Rosie supported Trump? Nope. Maybe you are thinking of Roseanne Barr.
