    They reported SA seeking help and she was punished by having her voting rights stripped? I'm LIVID!!! The right to vote is sacred. Please keep us updated on this story.

      Yeah, I've seen over 40 Trump rallies. She's in the upper 99% percentile in the competence department compared to that group and they can vote?!?!?!?

      It’s a valid question to prove a point that the ability to read is contradictory to the idea that someone that is neurodivergent is incompetent.

      @@kgjewel - The question did feel a bit condescending. A better approach might have been asking something like: "What's an example of something other people think you can't do that you're actually able to do?" and then let her fill in what that 'something' is.

      @@LoveLee-jz1tj I understand where you are coming from, but that side is full of bigoted ideology and has adopted a fascistic vision for the future. You cannot unite with those who would work to undo democracy and actively oppress and abuse those they deem "others" without inadvertently validating it.
