Wait. Who was the brother?? Was he one of the three roommates? |
I recently heard of the Scott Ratigan case in Arlington -- 24 year old found dead in his upscale apartment in Ballston -- and I am SO intrigued now. Why is there such a lack of media coverage of this case?! Who is the poi with the weird gait caught on security cameras?

My paternal grandfather is burried in a common grave somewhere. My grandmother was pregnant with my mom when they took him, so my mom never met him; she only has a couple of pictures of him. My mom's life would have been so much better having her dad. She had a terrible childhood. |
Oops, I meant maternal grandfather. |
Also infection during the first trimester of pregnancy. It's documented for flu. |
This is true! We had to have the front panel removed for a repair and there were SO. MANY. SOCKS! |
But there also has to be a genetic component. Since it heavily runs in families. I've read that autism, for example, is likely like having a "switch" in your body that got turned on. And some things can turn on the switch for a certain person- like flu infection in the first trimester, or exposure to certain things during pregnancy. And for some people, the switch never got turned on, and they were lucky. But if you don't have the switch to start with- it's never gonna get turned on. That theory makes a lot of sense to me. Why it can run in families, but not everyone has it in the family. And in other families, no one has it no matter how many times the mom got the flu. |
Where were you adopted from? |
Yes, and the reason for the increase in autism is not only increased diagnosis but also the fact that more people on the spectrum are reproducing in the last 30-40 years (think of the people who work in the tech industry who may not have been desirable 50 years ago, but are more so now). |
An East Coast state. |
