Everything makes sense when you remember what Lawrence O'Donnell said a couple of nights ago

45. I have always thought that trump acted, thought,

and behaved as a child. I was in Education for 25 years, 15 as an instructional aide, (with lots of special attention devoted to students who needed help), then 10 after I finished my certification to be a California Certificated teacher with a full Credential. Retired from teaching when I was over 60 years old. I have known 8 year old boys who could articulate deep, well thought responses to my 2nd grade questions, and students who hadn't developed any critically thinking skills at all.

The other teachers I worked with did not want to take any special Ed student s (mainstream) into their classroom. I would gladly accept the special Ed teacher's request to mainstream a few of her students. I would visit her classroom so I could see how the student she wanted to mainstream (participate in a regular classroom) behaved.

When I went to observe her classroom, there was a male student in her class who would not stop talking, did what he wanted to do, didn't listen to her at all, couldn't follow any rules. Talking one on one he seemed perfectly fine, no problems. His diagnosis was autism. He could of been a mini trump. When, we had assemblies, he couldn't stop talking and being disruptive. We think of autistic people as nonverbal, not making eye contact. This kid did was a mini trump, trying to get attention, being loud and disruptive. We have a child as president.
