According to the history of Rosemary’s birth, the doctor had not arrived and Joe forbid the nurses to let his wife push when she was crowning. As a former L& D RN, this should not be done(head on the perinium for an extended time)as it can cause brain damage if the head is kept in this position for too long. No one knows for certain, but Rosemary might have been a healthy child had it not been for this birth trauma. So, Joe’s malevolence was even worse than described in your story. Such a horrific situation that shouldn’t have happened. See if you can find that story Jim. I can’t remember where I read it. It was years ago.

I'm nerodivergent, and I'm DONE with neurotypicals like RFK claiming that somehow we are "defective". I've never had a problem holding a job, participating in society, etc. as I learned (as most of NDs do) to mask to fit in. I see things very differently than others, though, and often times I see more and can make connections that others can't. Screw him. I think Mr. Brain Worm needs to do us all a favor and have a lobotomy himself.
