My dad was born in the 30s, and was just as autistic as me. His mother (born 1910) died when I was little, but I remember her being eccentric, and my mother called her "difficult". They both lived perfectly normal lives, they were just very different from the others around them. I'm autistic and so is my nephew; that's four generations, spanning a century.

We have always been here.

    Always amuses me a bit when people say Kindles don't support EPUB, since I've been stripping DRM from my books and storing them in Calibre (enabling transparent conversion between EPUB and Amazon's formats) for thirteen years without a hitch. You should be doing this on any platform if you want to keep your books.

    It's beyond me why anyone who so much as knows what FOSS stands for wouldn't do the same.

    Let me put it in words of one syllable for you, since you're desperately reaching for any goalpost you can find to shift: I don't know who you think you're talking to, but it isn't anyone who's replied to you on this thread.

    Heavens, it's lucky we have people as smart as you to put the rest of us in our place. That guy has told you repeatedly, for instance, that he's not American and views "Trump voter" as an insult. And yet you persist in accusing him of being an American Trump voter, while jerking it to the sound of your own voice - surely the act of someone a cut above the common herd, who's not a self-important asswipe at all.

    Honestly, the BBC never report on protests, and the people behind the protests always get mad about it. They just aren't newsworthy unless something happens besides the fact of a protest.

    Essentially, this story is free advertising for the protest.
