Just to say, part of the reason the parties have gotten so radical is because more radical people vote in primaries while a lot of ho-hum centrists only vote in the general election if at all. By then the choice is a more radical guy or a democrat, and if you don’t want a democrat, guess you have to pick the radical guy. The guy who just rubber stamps everything Trump says even when it’s not in their state or country’s interest. The sort of guy who will let Trump war with Iran for as long as he wants without Congressional approval or who will let the federal govt dictate how our state runs its elections. The reason Trump doesn’t care about his popularity sinking is he thinks his loyal voters are the only ones who will vote in the primary, and they’ll sink any attempt at moderating the party before it gets to a general election. It’s literally up to you to show him he’s wrong, and that maybe he should get back to worrying about domestic prices more than his ballroom and international wars.

I’m asking because I feel like I get mixed answers whenever I try to research or when it comes up in the news (like today). Every time I think I get it, I hear something that makes me think I misunderstood. So, my question is on how autism relates to severe developmental delays. Because, on the one hand, I often hear that autism causes developmental delays in communication/behavior and social development, because the brain is wired different/processes information differently. But this is usually followed by an adamant assertion that it is not an intellectual disability (Apologies if I’m using the wrong words and let me know what the correct ones are! I do not want to offend anyone!) and that it doesn’t cause lower IQ or other intellectual delays other than delays caused by, like, not being able to learn things because they aren’t getting the help they need to overcome sensory issues, etc. But then I see stuff about very high needs autistic folks who seem to have fairly severe intellectual disabilities more akin to what I would expect to see from Down syndrome or something. Is that just how extreme the autism spectrum can get, or is it that their autism is comorbid with some intellectual disorder?
