In reply to the discussion: Trump administration set to tie Tylenol to autism risk, officials say [View all]BlueKota
(4,645 posts)43. That is amazing that you and you sister are on the
Mensa level and your brother is very intelligent too.
I think they suspected me of being on the spectrum because I have always been very self critical and easy to make cry.
I am above average intelligence in subjects like English, History, and Law but far below average in math. They said most people tend to be better in one subject than the other, but not to the extent that I am. My High-school guidance counselor said he had never met anyone with that much of a gap, and he said I was "weird." l have friends and family, but am generally socially awkward and have an easier time bonding with cats and dogs than most people. I think those are the reasons the doctor's colleague thought the Autism Spectrum was a possibility.

How convenient for Dr. Oz to announce this need for leucovorin when a company he owns makes it.
