If Eisenhower was alive now, he would warn us to beware of the "Academia-Government Industrial Complex."

Just A Bear Trying Mightily Not to Shrug. Avi may or may not be me. Blocked by the Ambassador of France to the US and Cher? Hot according to @GayPatriot
- I was not going to do this as I do not like too personal information on the internet, but the latest Greta Thunberg video is too impactful. I do not care what one believes about the climate, but I do care that people understand what is happening with this young lady. 1/
- Well Twitter friends and family, wish me good fortune, I am going to get hitched!
- Replying to @DuaneSugimuraHoly shit, I thought you were saying she passed away. Glad I was wrong. That being cleared up, if Susanna Hoffs and Paul Rudd had a child, would it ever age?
- Replying to @bearshruggedFor a person like me, seeing her rigidity makes me unhappy. However, seeing her frustration and tears at the UN makes me angry. Those pushing her into the spotlight on these issues deserve shame. She is not a robot. Her beliefs are tainted by the Spectrum that frames them. /12
- Replying to @bearshruggedThese areas are instinctive for those of us not on the Spectrum. No matter where you are on this issue, remember Ms. Thunberg's view is not your view. Someone should be helping her navigate her rigidity and anxiety, not using it as an "automatia" prop. /14
- Replying to @damintoell and @elonmuskWhy did that have a sensitive content warning?
- Replying to @bearshruggedTwo common characteristics that seem to follow in all cases are "literalism" and "rigidity" of thought. Also, hyperfocus on narrow topics is common. Aspregers was known as the "little professors" disease, because Aspregers kids could become experts in narrow topics. 3/
- Hey y'all. My sister in law just had her first chemotherapy treatment for non-Hodgkins lymphoma today. She has a long road, but we are all backing her like bears. If you have a spare prayer in your repertoire, would you please send it her way? Her name is Davida. Thanks.
- Replying to @bearshruggedShe is being compelled into corners her mind has difficulty navigating, and does nothing but feed her fears (of literal death), and frustration that her mind's eye does not square with the messy, grey, emotional world. Apregers sufferers must learn to navigate these areas. /13
- Replying to @bearshruggedIf an Aspregers sufferer establishes a set of "facts" in their minds, it is very fixed. It is so fixed that even contrary facts presented to them are rejected in favor of the previously established "facts." If the counter-information continues, the sufferer becomes frustrated. /5
- Replying to @bearshruggedWhen I see Ms. Thunberg, I see all 9f the frustration of my child, with none of the attempts at perspective and flexibility of thought. In some ways Spectrum people appear robotic because of their rigid mindset, but they are not. The are frustrated, and hurt, and angry. 11/
- Replying to @bearshruggedThese three items, for a person not on the spectrum can be weighed, evaluated, and put into perspective. Contrary points can be reviewed and expectations adjusted. For an Aspregers sufferer, this is not easily, if at all achieved. The anxiety compounds. /8
