“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.”

Baldwin said it best.

Right?! No one warns you about the horror of relying on a kindergartner’s personal hygiene to protect you from contagious worms.

Also this child better be washing his hands every five minutes. I’m not sure I can deal with adding a parasite to the chaos of this year.

Autism is not an "epidemic" because it's not a disease. Saying we don't know what "causes" it is absurd. It's genetic and, what's more, NORMAL FOR HUMAN BRAINS TO BE DIFFERENT FROM ONE ANOTHER.

This!! I have been feeling the same disconnected feeling too and it sucks. I overthink everything and end up not posting or responding at all, which creates a whole disconnected cycle. If I figure out how to break it, I’ll be sure to share!
