Like Anton asked about, could you provide some evidence for your claim that the first autism talk was on this forum? The earliest online claim like this that I saw was after the Barbara Walters 20/20 interview with Trump and his family from November 2015. And that was posted on a thread first started in 2014 on an autism board, wondering in a purely speculative manner whether Trumps son had something to do with all his statements in interviews and tweets about a theorized cause of autism.
This sort of talk then exploded on Twitter and to a lesser extent on various other websites, especially in comment sections to articles, after the final day of the RNC convention, when Barron was filmed in the audience several times and later onstage. Since the victory speech, its been all over the place (unfortunately, increasingly by Trump haters who are disturbingly trying to use this claim as an insult, which is offensive to both the Trumps and those on the autism spectrum), but Ive only seen any discussion of this on Free Republic from this month. Are there actually posts about it here from last year or before (or even ones prior to the convention, for that matter)? If not, then FR was hardly the originator of this.
Just a quick correction of my post. I made a mistake here:
“Ive only seen any discussion of this on Free Republic from this month”
I know there were at least a few posts from before this month; I meant only since the convention. Don’t know what I was thinking when I wrote that, although it does seem to have picked up a lot this month.

I was about to concede your point — then I noticed you said you were just kidding.

Don't know about you Doc, but I'd need to rent some hydraulic equipment. My back couldn't handle it.
Kalifonnia should fine her.
They follow Goebbel’s precisely.
Judging from his parents, he may be brilliant and autistic or not. We will not know for awhile.
Rosie on the other hands is a slimebag sociopath for venting her disappointing life on the head of a nice family and a really cute kid. I think HHS ought to take her child away if this display is how she is as a human.
