BY age 2 it was clear that the boy had a sensibility all his own, affectionate and distant at the same time, often more focused on patterns and objects than the people around him.

He was neither naturally social like his mother, nor an early and gifted reader like his father. Quirky, curious, exuberant, he would leap up and dance across the floor after solving a problem or winning a game, duck walking like an N.F.L. receiver posing for a highlight film.

It must be true. Look at the sociopaths babs bush and the offspring from her fetid womb that stole the presidency. Both equally bad. Both unredeemable.

That is so true. I take after my mother and
the side of her that was never spoken about.
Now I'm sixty and after four years of
therapy my p-doc finally asks me to check my hormones.
I've been living my life with worsening
adrenal insufficiency almost to the point of
flatlining in the cortisol department.
I did not go to a clinic or to an MD.
I will not be receiving synthetic or real hormone shots or pills.
I've wasted more time/money following the
medical model than I care to think about.
