      Autism, to be explained in the simplest way, simply means that your brain works a bit differently than the majority. The main characteristics are having trouble with social cues, sensory issues, repetitive, soothing behaviors (like eating beans) and so on. To most people they can seem very “normal” (but I would avoid using that word)

We are problem solvers, able to see the bigger picture and being able to focus so deeply on our passions. I was selectivity mute too as was one of my grandchildren.

      Yeahhh... Well the thing about celebrities and activists... Is that they don't ACTUALLY work on the things they preach. They just there to talk and open their mouths with some "positive bs".... I'm literally a professional Environmentalist and NOBODY asked me to be on tv and they couldn't care less if I defend the Environment on the streets. And btw... Mannyyyyyyyyy people like me who dedicate their hearts and souls to the cause. We literally have heroes that NOBODY cares about.... So if you think I'm here for fame or money ahahahah NOPE! It's just to point out the "white insanity" of the thing really... Because a white Swedish girl can rant on tv and EVERYBODY will listen, while others, who work their ass off, from other ethnicities get ZERO. Not even an interview!!! Because a small white girl who never worked will provide "real information" about the state of things you know... And I would bet that if she works on the 'real stuff' she will quickly find out that it isn't a place for a white girl.... What... Being in the filth that people create and dispose??? Being paid the minimum wage for that??? Getting trashed by the anti-environmentalists on the streets??? Oh my.... Where can I sign for that "piece of action". Yeah... Let's see where she will be in 20 years.
      Btw... Not trying to bash Greta, I actually like her... It's just, she doesn't know her place in the world yet. It's like 'yeah kid you are alright but... you ain't the real deal. one thing is talking, another one is doing'

      It doesn't mean she is sane it just means she is crafted to act a certain way by influential people . She was manipulated as a child for financial gain. Now she is making more money off that time by getting help writing a book about it. She is basically condoning child abuse by her own parents for whoring her out as a centre piece to make money off of. Anyone who doesn't see that is part of the problem.
