I think she has gotten back into sports reporting. She was doing stand up after leaving NFLN. She really had her moments at NFLN, but I think sometimes she was just too over the top. Comedy is probably better for her

I don’t remember her at all from NFL Network. She says that autism is a gift and it’s beautiful. She also makes fun of someone saying that it is an epidemic. Yeah autism is great if u can function like Elon Musk but lots and lots cannot even hold a job or leave the house or drive or be in a romantic relationship. Evidently she is high functioning, she would not want the opposite.

I have a good friend with an autistic child diagnosed in the 80's.
cannot function at all
there is no epidemic; the AMA and others have massively broadened the definition of Autism.
He thinks its garbage. Autism was meant to only classify those that are unable to function or barely function. elon musk should not be considered an autistic. Think up a new definition or something else but do not paint with such a broad brush

It'd be fine, if more people understood what the word "spectrum" means. Though I agree, the word "autism" should be its own category, reserved for those for whom it's a disability.

That’s crazy talk. It’s like saying only cancer patients in the hospital have cancer, all other cancer patients walking around do not have cancer, they have something else. There are definitely different levels of autism just as there are different levels of polio or cancer or heart disease or diabetes etc.

That is the opinion of someone who has had to live with it for over twenty years in his son
so he is much more believable than you are
