Rosie O’Donnell Explains Her Speculation That Barron Trump Is Autistic

Rosewrote a candid message to fans on her website Saturday, explaining that the reason she questioned if Barron Trump has autism is because her daughter was recently diagnosed with the condition and she recognizes the symptoms. “Here is how it went down,” O’Donnell began. “My 3.5 year old daughter Dakota was diagnosed in September with HFA — high functioning autism. I have been immersed in that world/reality since learning — reading — asking questions. It’s all autism — all the time for the newly diagnosed. As we try to grab onto anything to keep us standing, the knowledge we r not alone there r others living this too.” O’Donnell goes on to write: “But this autism subject — had nothing to do with Donald, though i admit he does trigger me in all ways — i have no ill will for his children — or any children — and if u knew anything about me — u would know that.”
