(61,695 posts)a disability. There are good sources on DU for this. I've talked to teachers who work with SN children, and they all say there is something atypical about Barron's demeanor, etc.
I haven't seen those threads.
Ilsa
(61,695 posts)Which doesn't identify the specific disability.
I've known a lot of SN, Special Education teachers over the years. Several have commented since 2015 that he appears to be on the spectrum. He would be at risk for that because his father was 60 or older when he was conceived. Advanced paternal age is a factor in autism spectrum disorders.
You can start here in the middle of the thread: https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=13493879
I asked if they had heard something specific several replies down.

(6,930 posts)People diagnosing from afar. That used to be ridiculed here.
Ilsa
(61,695 posts)One dr told me it only takes about 15 minutes of listening to him to tell. No psych tests required.
Barron is naturally at higher risk for two reasons: his father's advanced age at conception, and his father's own learning disabilities and psychiatric issues.
Same with developmental disabilities. You may not have the cause, but people experienced in the field, like speech therapists, occupational therapists, SE teachers, etc, can see the movements, behaviors, etc., and some symptoms are physical. Knowing where a kid is on the spectrum requires a much more intensive evaluation.
Plus, his private school brags about having this special "mind-brain education program." That sounds like code for needing an Individualized Education Plan. Special education programs like that don't show up at many private schools.
I understand your concerns. But some things add up. At first I didn't believe it, but I would bet money he's on the spectrum.

(12,712 posts)She might be wondering if he is worth being taken care of by her Sugar Daddy. I hope she reads Trophy Wife Today to get some tips.
It could also be that he is so broke, she's sticking around thinking he will get some bucks for the settlement. I doubt that will happen.

(63,221 posts)He doesn't have one genuine positive emotion that he is able to express, ever.
His only true emotions are rage, hatred, jealousy, boredom and fear. He is a complete failure as a human being.

Melania thinks she's too cool to smile. She's got the Cold Eastern European Girl stereotype down to a science.
