You don't know many billionaires (nor really do I, but I believe I know how they think).

When you have more money than you will ever be able to use, it all just comes down to keeping score. Doesn't matter if anyone ever sees it, because it'all just a prop for their fragile egos. Whenever being the "bad guy" gets you down, you just go in your private vault and stare at Napoleon's crown or something.

Yeah - I’d guess they have a buyer ready to go. He’s probably pissed he’s not getting the crown though.

“Half of Wall Street sends their kids to this school” was said by Nido Qubein, so take that with an Everest-sized grain of salt lol. The HPU students I’ve met through precepting for the pharmacy school range from average to dear god I hope you never actually practice because you’ll kill someone.

“… Lougheed has Level 1 autism. Her son has Level 3 autism. But they are both diagnosed under the same broad umbrella of autism spectrum disorder.

Now, the national conversation around autism has reignited debate over whether one label can truly encompass such different experiences—and, more broadly, whether autism is more of a form of neurodiversity or a disability in need of better treatments or even a cure.

“My son has such a different diagnosis than me,” says Lougheed, who lives in Salem, Ore. “I can intellectualize all of this, I can live a normal life. I got married, had kids. I was able to have a job. I know there’s some hereditary thing that connects them, but I believe there should be something separating us so that those [who are more profoundly autistic] can get more help.”

Developing a more nuanced set of groups with autism will help everyone get the care and interventions they need, says Dr. Matthew Siegel, chief of clinical enterprise for Boston Children’s Hospital.

“Using the same term for individuals who are non-speaking and cannot care for themselves and for individuals who are college professors makes no sense, and does a disservice to all,” he says.…”

“… “I think that people like me should have a voice, but I think that people that are like me don’t need to be holding back research for people like him, and I feel like that’s kind of happening,” she says.

As for the advocates who say they don’t want their autism “cured,” she notes no one is talking about a cure for people like them, or her. “If you’re able to intellectualize that information and verbalize, this isn’t for you,” she says.“
