I can't run for office, however, as my husband is not a 'tough guy'. Dammit, I knew he'd hold me back.

Do you have my life. I have a nephew with autism but like you my DH is not a tough guy. He is a sweety though.

Seriously, I don't think I know more than anyone about autism because my nephew has it. Maybe Sarah has more time than I do to be around her nephew. After all, I only lived with my nephew from the time he was 6 until 14 when I went away to college. But she has been in politics for most if not all of her nephew's life and probably flies in to see him everyday. (at taxpayers expense, of course)..
