Gélineau advanced the term "narcolepsy" in 1880 while de la Tourette described his eponymous syndrome in 1885. "Autism" was coined by Bleuler in 1911, with full diagnoses soon after.
But what do I know? I'm not the Cabinet secretary in charge of the goddamn Department of Health and Human Services.

RFK JR: ADD, ADHD, Tourette syndrome, Narcolepsy, Autism.. All of these are injuries that I never heard of when I was a kid.

every fucking coward who voted for rfk's confirmation should be publicly shamed every time they show their worthless faces. I don't think this level of fury is really productive in any way but I'm acknowledging it

Which is to say, we would end up with fewer dead and sick Americans if we were to replace RFK with a name picked at random out of the phone book.

Agreed! Read!
I cannot overstate the importance of reading books, particularly novels by respected authors, for critical thinking skills and reading comprehension. If the big gun novelists don't interest you, start small and work your way up. Or read whatever interests you. Just read. Or listen. It's all books.

I've seen tragic moments in American history. (Shootings of MLK and RFK in 1968.)
I've seen infuriating moments. (Bush v Gore 2000. 'Weapons of mass destruction' 2002-2003.)
But I can't recall a moment as flat-out stupid as Trump's tariff declaration.

So, to recap:
Canada needs to integrate into America's supply chains, so that why Trump is destroying those supply chains. We need to lower the temperature, so we're escalating the trade war. Tariffs don't cause inflation, but they'll cause prices to rise.

DOJ leadership has put all Public Integrity Section lawyers into a room with 1 hour to decide who will dismiss Adams indictment or else all will be fired. Sending them strength to stand by their oath, which is to support the Constitution, not the president’s political agenda. 🇺🇸

AP's still banned and the rest of the White House press corps leaves them hanging. I honestly don't get it. Didn't they all rally around Fox News a couple years ago?

Every news organization should be standing in solidarity with the AP and not attending any event an AP reporter is barred from. This is preposterous, and it's one hell of a slippery slope.
For a third straight day, an AP reporter was blocked from attending an Oval Office event, I'm told.
