Ask Amy: Here’s a picture of my dog, and by the way I’m autistic

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:44:55 GMT

Dear Amy: I am a 45-year-old woman who was just diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum.I never suspected I might be autistic until last year, when a friend discovered that she was autistic and sent me some articles about the non-stereotypical ways autism can present itself in women.After going through the professional evaluation process and learning more about autism, I am almost certain that both my older sister and my 80-year-old mother are on the spectrum, too.Should I tell them about my diagnosis and suspicions about them? If so, how? We are a family that never discusses emotions or meaningful experiences, but I am in almost daily text-message contact with both of them (about trivial things like cooking or sharing photos of our dogs).I would be uncomfortable even bringing up my diagnosis because it is virtually taboo to discuss our inner lives within the family.In my teens and early 20s, my mother bluntly told me she didn’t want to discuss the hard parts of my life, and that ...

Ban on Property Sales to Citizens of China, Iran, and Others Is Cruising Through Texas Legislature

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:44:55 GMT

Last week, the Texas Senate passed a bill putting restrictions on land purchases by citizens of China, Iran, Russia, and North Korea, raising alarms among civil liberties advocates who fear it is the first step toward legally enshrining discrimination based on national origin in the state.The bill, Senate Bill 147, would ban the purchase of “real property” by citizens from China, Iran, Russia, and North Korea, even if they are in the country legally on certain visas. The bill defines “real property” as “agricultural land, an improvement located on agricultural land, a mine or quarry, a mineral in place, or a standing timber.” Currently awaiting review by the Texas House of Representatives, Republican Gov. Greg Abbott has publicly vowed that he will sign it into law if it reaches his desk.“The bill perpetuates anti-immigrant bias and racism by unconstitutionally encouraging discrimination on the basis of immigration or citizenship status and national ori...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:44:55 GMT

ROME (AP) — Victor Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia have earned their mural spots on the walls of Naples alongside Diego Maradona.More than three decades after Maradona led Napoli to its first two Serie A titles, “Osi” and “Kvara” were the biggest reasons behind the team’s runaway success this season.So it seemed appropriate that both players were involved in the decisive goal when Napoli sealed the “scudetto” (championship) with a 1-1 draw at Udinese on Thursday.Osimhen knocked in the rebound after a shot from Kvaratskhelia for the second-half equalizer.It was Osimhen’s league-best 22nd goal of the season, while “Kvara” is the league’s assist leader with 10 to go along with the Goergia international’s 12 goals scored.“I really do not care who scores or who don’t. All I wanted was to win the ‘scudetto,’” Osimhen said after Thursday’s match. “I was just fortunate enough to be in the position to get the goal in.”Even before the title was sealed, an Osimhen-Kvara mural was put up in t...
