3. What anxious parents of neurodivergent children can learn from Tim and Gwen Walz

Gus is neurodivergent and the Walz family is doing an amazing job of raising Gus

Link to tweet

https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/tim-walz-children-gus-neurodivergent-rcna166748

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s open acknowledgement that he and his wife used fertility treatments to conceive their two children and his candid discussions about that generated one of the most moving moments during a rally in Glendale, Arizona, when people chanted the name of his firstborn daughter, Hope. The positive reaction to the candidate’s discussion of the topic confirms the thumbs-up that Vice President Kamala Harris got for choosing her running mate from every faction of the Democratic Party — from moderates such as Rep. Abigail Spanberger, D-Va.; progressives such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.; and even erstwhile conservative Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin, I-W.Va., who left the party this year.

But Tim and Gwen Walz also deserve positive attention for the way they’ve discussed their son, Gus, who came into the national spotlight thanks to a piece in People magazine, about his nonverbal learning disorder and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. That makes him double-neurodiverse.

Simply having a neurodivergent son is not enough reason for him to be praised; indeed, many parents of neurodivergent children have been harmful to their children and peddled harmful ideas, including the idea that vaccines cause autism. Rather, what makes the Walz family’s story so reassuring is that they seem to want to help Gus live a good life rather than change who he is.

According to the Child Mind Institute, nonverbal learning disorder, or NVLD, affects nonverbal forms of learning like the ability to notice patterns or learn concepts, including visual and social patterns as well as concepts in language and math. Because of the similar traits, people with NVLD are often confused as being on the autism spectrum and vice versa. Most recently, comedian Chris Rock disclosed that he received a diagnosis after a friend initially thought he might be somewhere on the autism spectrum.....

The Walzes’ words and their embrace of their son may seem utterly unremarkable. But that’s the point. Loving your children, celebrating their gifts and embracing them fully ought to be unremarkable whether they’re neurodivergent or neurotypical. Neurodivergent people deserve parents who are dedicated to helping them thrive. They deserve family members who know that the way they love, interact and see the world, while different from their neurotypical counterparts, deserves the same respect. ......

At the same time, it is still a step forward that the Walz family doesn’t see Gus as deficient and has instead focused on what is possible for him, such as obtaining his driver’s license. Importantly, with the national profile they now have, the Walz family can serve as a model to show parents of children with developmental disabilities the joys that come with embracing, and not mending, their children

[Tree Lady]

72. My grandson has Aspergers and my

daughter and her husband have always brought him along with them to everything and they ignore the pacing, they swallow him up with love. He has had help in school, special school when younger and just a few days ago she dropped him off for college!

No he doesn't display the perfect social graces but they take him anyway and because of that he is filled with self confidence I am sure he wouldn't have otherwise. She taught him this past year how to shop, clean, etc to get ready to be out on his own.

My grandson wants to be an astronomer and knows it will take a phd, they are ready to support him. Have saved college money since both boys were born, I am very proud of them!

In case they haven't noticed, society has moved on from their childish behaviors of mocking the disabled, and it will never be 'back in fashion'

[Delphinus]

86. I sure

hope you are right about that.

[Ocelot II]

9. Nasty people. WTF is wrong with them?

Why do they think it's cool to punch down, hurt and deride people who are different? But we all remember how their great orange god mocked the disabled reporter.

He gave the rest of his orcs permission to be assholes in public, but why does anyone want to be an asshole in the first place? Most of us probably remember elementary school, where the odd kids - the fat ones, the kids with speech impediments, the kids in the so-called "special" reading groups (they got called "retards," a word that TFG's very fine people probably still use regularly), the kids with physical handicaps - were teased or excluded. Kids can be mean. Some of us might have either been teased or else we did some of the teasing. But we're not eight years old any more and now we know better. Maybe our parents set us straight or we just figured out that we were being assholes, and we didn't want to be assholes any more. I guess Trump and his MAGAs never matured past 7th grade, but you have to wonder what stunted their psychological growth so badly.

[AZ8theist]

30. 7th grade??? You give him too much credit....

..Doturd speaks at a 4th grade level. There's no doubt he never matured past that level either.....

12. "Does Barron Trump cry? Nope."

Based on some rumors I've read, Barron is even worse than his father when it comes to mistreating people and animals. This isn't the own that dude thinks it is.

[Ocelot II]

13. If your dad is Donald Trump, you're not going to be normal.

[Katinfl]

47. I always thought that Barron was on the spectrum.

When he was in public he never focused he just seemed to stare straight ahead. They kept him sheltered. What ever happened to the old school rule about candidates being off limits? They certainly should be but are we surprised the GOP goes after his son, Gus? NO, not al all. These people will stop at nothing. They are trash.

[The Third Doctor]

14. Hillary was right.

[niyad]

56. Hillary was being generous.

[EnergizedLib]

15. Remember

They threw a hissy fit if Barron’s name was even uttered. But they worship and mourned Rush who attacked a 12-13-year-old Chelsea Clinton as the White House Dog.

[gopiscrap]

21. yeah, the same Rush who was diddling little boys

[EnergizedLib]

22. And mocked Michael J. Fox's Parkinson's

I can’t speak for others. I have never attacked TFGs’s two younger children. It’s only if Barron gets into the political arena as an adult would I attack him. I hate his father with the passion of 1,000 burning suns, but never had any contempt for an under-18 Barron.

[ShazzieB]

73. Same here!

Thank you for voicing these sentiments.

Since Barron turned 18 (in March), there have been some threads here at DU saying things like (paraphrasing) "He's an adult now, so he's fair game!" That kind of thing horrifies me.

We Democrats should do better than that. Attacking a kid who is barely a legal adult, just because his father is a lying, cheating, criming asshole is way lower than any of us should even think of going, imo.

[Collimator]

64. If memory serves. . .

. . . Some commentator referenced the fact that the name "Barron" is an aristocratic title and then implied that Donald Trump aspires to be some sort of King.

The Right Wing pundits accused her of "going after" a child.

I think that all human beings have a knack for embracing double standards when the standard breaks their way, but Right Wingers have elevated that level of hypocrisy to an art form.

[Ursus Rex]

92. "Barron" is/was also one of TFG's aliases

... which he would use on call-in shows, to plant rumours on other people, etc.
So, basically, he named his child after one of his alter-egos, which is weird and pretty significantly f'ed-up.

35. It certainly has been a long time since

I've heard anything from Ann Coulter. Maybe if we're lucky, she'll crawl back under the rock where she's been dwelling.

[COL Mustard]

36. I'm glad that harridan's quote has been preserved for all time.

Once you post something on the Interwebs, it's there forever. FAFO, Ann.

[SWBTATTReg]

43. Ann C. should apologize, and apologize humbly. There are a significant number of handicapped persons

in the US, recent census data shows that there were just over 40 million Americans with a disability in the US, or 13% of the population, not including those who are in institutions like prison, or long-term care facilities.

And I'm one of them (a profound loss of hearing since birth).

People like this who venture to make smart-ass remarks and such, think that they are being witty or something, which is far, far from the truth. In what world is one elevated when they mock someone's handicap, or mock a handicap, especially knowing that literally everybody in this Country more than likely has a handicapped person in their family?

God, the asinine and witless have taken over the GOP and have run amuck, and they think that they are above the rest of us. If anything, they've have debased themselves to the lowest of the low, and the scummiest of the scummiest. I still have that absolutely repulsive tidbit by djt when he mocked that handicapped reporter. As a result, I think djt is far more handicapped that those he mocks, and he's doing it deliberately, not inadvertently.

And I'm being proven right.

Shame on all of those outside of DU who mock the handicapped.

The Lord is God of the physically healthy and the mentally strong, but He is also the God of the physically disabled and the mentally handicapped. He is sovereign over the fragile and feeble as well as over the adroit and mighty. The Bible teaches that every person conceived in this world is a unique creation of God (see Psalm 139:16), and that includes the disabled and the handicapped.

Just one more emotion that foreign to MAGATs.

26. It's my understanding that Republicans can also give birth to neurodivergent children.

Yet another voting bloc that these low-lifes have alienated.

32. I find it interesting that when it is THEIR child

who has special needs, they expect unlimited compassion and understanding.

They seem to be incapable of feeling anything for anyone else aside from contempt and ridicule.

[CaptainTruth]

40. Conservative vs Liberal

A Conservative says "It hasn't happened to me so I don't care."

A Liberal says "It should never happen to anyone & that's why I care."

[PatSeg]

68. Exactly

And if something bad happens to them and they see the same thing happen to someone else, they often still don't show understanding.

Somehow, THEIR problems are always special and they are victims of fate or circumstances. That other guy over there? He probably deserved it.

[NYC Liberal]

106. Yep. And I don't recall anyone here (or any Democrat for that matter)

mocking Sarah Palin’s son who has Down syndrome.

[Doc Sportello]

27. So predictable

Knew it would happen because these pieces of shit are terrible excuses for human beings and love deriding disabled people. They actually enjoy the cruelty.

The Walz family, on the other opposite end, have raised their son beautifully and are and should be proud of him. I'm not quite so forgiving as they would be. I would like to punch that Crispi guy - hard. Whoever the fuck he is.

without an empathetic bone in their bodies. I was watching a video with Bandy Lee yesterday and posed the question to her, "I've heard of mass hysteria, but is there mass sociopathy?"

[Tarzanrock]

31. This ass clown, Crispi, appears in his photo to be a real "pencil neck" pansy!

This ass clown, Crispi, appears in his photo to be a real "pencil neck" pansy! I think that Coach Walz's son could probably out weight lift him and that he could probably "beat the shit" out of Crispi in a wrestling match or in a real fist fight. That's the thing about those "pencil neck" rightwing pansies -- almost all of them are just crybaby chickenshits who just run their loud mouths. Big talk -- never any action. Always thunder, never any rain.

[LiberalBrooke]

34. This is another example of the disparity of values. What I look up to and honor

the right wing makes fun of. They are truly ugly.

Last edited Thu Aug 22, 2024, 02:56 PM - Edit history (1)

expressing pride, love and having tears of joy in a very appropriate situation is weird.
Thinking men don't or should not cry is fucking weird.
It's the people that don't cry that should worry us.

Has this idiot ever attended a graduation ceremony? Plenty of strong dads there crying.
Or attended a wedding and saw a dad walk his daughter down the aisle?
His argument is just stupid, and yes weird.

I am not incensed that they would make fun of a teenager. They are that small.They should be reminded that this is not normal. This is more weirdness. You are not owning the libs. You are just being weird.

[Mr.Bill]

41. Here's a news flash for MAGAT assholes -

MAGAT couples are just as prone to having kids with special needs as Democrats are. The powers that may exist see no political parties. They just hide theirs.

[agalisgv]

42. Ann Coulter

She's full of hate.

I would not expect anything else from her.

[colorado_ufo]

44. All I can say is . . .

I know for sure who I would like in my neighborhood.

People making such cruel comments are very damaged people and have one foot over the line for being dangerous.

[Tarzanrock]

45. Small, weak, spineless men always bloviate the loudest and bully the most!

It's been my experience in life that almost always it is the smallest, weakest, most cowardly and most morally fucked-up boys and men who bloviate the loudest and bully the most; and, almost always the people whom they attack and bloviate against are those who cannot fight them back.

[The Unmitigated Gall]

46. Every day, I take a little time out

To remember that Rush Limbaugh is still dead. Someday, dog willing I'll take similar pleasure when Ann Coulter kicks it.

[LudwigPastorius]

53. Excerpt of Mike Crispi's bio from the Club For Growth site:

Mike is a strong believer in limited government principles and his Christian faith as (the) guiding principles...

You best keep Jesus' name out of your mouth when you're trying to dunk on a child for loving his father, Mikey.

[onecaliberal]

54. At least Walz never fucked his daughter or lusted after her every second of the day..

[Initech]

55. God, MAGA are such utter pieces of dog shit.

Seriously, if there is a hell, it waits for them.

[Mblaze]

58. I think the jury is out

On whether Barron loves his father. I know that Melania doesn't love her husband.

[Lotusflower70]

62. Hmmm

Not surprised. Trump made fun of a reporter with a disability. They are bottom feeders

[hadEnuf]

63. As painful as it is to read garbage from assholes like these people,

MAGA is consistently showing America what
sewer dwellers they really are.

[Clouds Passing]

66. GUS STRONG! Little playground bullies at it again. Crispi's hate movement is going to be a crispy burnt toast soon.

Gus is a beautiful beautiful soul. I hope he knows there’s a lot more people who love and respect him than those who hate and bully him. Stay strong Gus.

67. May they get everything they have coming to them!

The fact that they're ridiculing this lovely young man's overt display of feelings is because they are THREATENED by a man crying. OMG! NOT FEELINGS! Gasp!

69. predicable

They are soulless. They'd kill a child like that.

[TlalocW]

71. I can't think of a single attack on Barron

I know conservatives tried to make hay out of stuff like sloppily psycho-analyzing why Trump would name his kid that, trying to turn it into an attack on Barron. Did I miss anything? All I've seen since 2016 about him is, "Holy shit, he's tall!"

[bif]

74. Is English his second language Or did he drop out of school in the 3rd grade?

He sounds like a Neanderthal.

Specially the Obama’s warned us. If that is all they got so be it. All it does is put MAGA base in cement. The entire Walz family does have a superpower.

Their cruelty knows no bounds.

Maybe it’s because they have no concept of what love means.

while pointedly ignoring that their guy's relationship with his children is purely transactional. I'd be shocked if he could pick Tiffany out of a lineup.

Edit: there was a recent incident where Orange Foolius was at an event and as he climbed the stairs, Tiffany greeted him with, "Hi, Daddy!" leaned in to kiss his cheek, and he turned his head and kept moving. Didn't even acknowledge her.

[AngryOldDem]

97. I knew as soon as I saw the pic that the maggots would be all over it.

They don’t even try to hide their hate and hypocrisy.

This has been eating at me all day, probably because I have two kids a little older than Gus who are also on the spectrum. Their road can be rough, mainly because of the cruelty and flat-out ignorance that other people display.

Gus loves his dad. His dad loves Gus. Period. How anyone cannot see this as a family value, but instead worship a man who couldn’t give two shits about his own kids (well, except Ivanka) is just beyond sad. I don’t know whether to hate or pity these fuckers anymore. The Right isn’t even a parody of itself anymore. It’s sick.

[Cha]

98. Whoa Mike Crispi is a GD fuckwad. We knew this was coming... Does

Gov Tim Walz have "34 Felonies" and has he been "Convicted of Rape"and Fraud".

Crispi's attenmpt to Distract by focusing on Walz' beautiful is Despicable.

To throw Crispi’s trash back in his face: It wasn’t the flex you thought it was, huh, Mike?
