Was it wrong to have 4 eggs benedict this morning? Cholesterol ok and have only had 2 eggs all week.
 
My total, total ignorance but the family shooting in WA. All four of the children, who are siblings, were autistic? Actually medically diagnosed?
Possible. I think I heard the children were being home schooled, so it could be 'learned behaviour' for some of the younger ones and not diagnosed. Autism isn't always as you may think of it, eg Rainman etc. These days it's usually called ASD (autistic spectrum disorder) and, as the name implies, there is a very large range of behaviours.
Unless you knew them well, you would probably not notice anything different about people with high-functioning ASD. Have you heard of Temple Grandin? Remarkable woman!

As JohnM took great delight in pointing out in View from my Office. :)

Indeed - and I was referring to the previous day :). Yesterday was the latest day on record in May over 30 deg in PERadise. The beaches were packed all day because of that and remaining windless throughout. (That, in itself, is unusual because afternoons are usually characterised by a fresh sea breeze.)

Cooler and cloudy today but the rest of the week is looking sunny and mid-20's. But we really need rain...
 
My nephew is on the spectrum. He’s kinda proud of it. He is highly functioning and super bright.
 
Smart dog.
