To say that she knows all about autism because her infant *might* have it in the future is absurd. Diabetes runs in my family but the fact that one of my children *might* develop it doesn't mean I know 'better than most' about the trials of raising a child with diabetes. That's utterly ridiculous.

I think McCain either was confused (and at his age who could blame him) or saw a chance to garner votes from families who are actually dealing with autism....unlike Sarah Palin.
