Hi Lexy,

There always seems to be this cross over of diagnosis - is x autistic or narcissistic.  It's interesting.  

There were these two brothers diagnosed with autism who came for swimming lessons.   We were running them in a private pool which was lucky because we ended up keeping everyone out of the area until they were gone.

The older brother was okay just seemed very slow but the younger one was hard to handle anyway but then the people started arriving for the next class, omg.  He was so affected by the presence of other people doing their own thing that it drove him nuts.  Big strong overweight unable to swim and charging round the edge of the pool screaming and flapping his hands in the air.  Just hopeless.  

Trump reminds me a lot of Joh Bjelke Petersen.  oh sorry make that Sir Joh, he did get a knighthood from the queen for his long service as Queensland Premier.  His big trick was gerrymandering - shifting the lines of how the state was divided up so that he would stay in power and my goodness he was unbeatable.  'Now don't you say another thing' he would say to the reporter asking him questions and he said it with such avuncular charm they'd just smile and step back.

maybe what they have in common is being wired for a self-centric universe?
