    I don't recall starting an O'Reilly thread.

    I'd love to see someone enter a discussion about autism and faking it with The Queen, who has an autistic brother. She's done an incredible amount of research and is very involved in his care at the adult home where he lives.
    The shredding she'd put on somebody would be impressive enough to charge admission.

    You'd get your money's worth.

    This came up on a talk show that happened to be on our TV not that long ago. She was looking for phone numbers for the set to rip someone a new asshole.

    I'm in. I'll bring the popcorn.

    She's free to use my goalie stick as needed.

    My nephew has just been diagnosed with a fairly mild form of austism (Asberger's). I won't discuss what I wish on Savage in polite company.

    The Queen, Rosie and Sportschick could probably clear a few bars. Woe to those dumb enough to piss them off.

    A old and dear friend of mine from summer camp days has a daughter with a severe form of autism. My friend has a PhD in biology and used to teach it at the college level.

    She and the Queen can tag-team Savage's sorry excuse for an ass. I'll bring the guacamole, but someone would need to bring a blotter or a mop, because that's what you'd need to mop up Savage with after she got through with him.
