On most occasions, I strive to remain rational even if all hell breaks loose.…

For instance, let us say that a couple with limited economical resources takes his young child (who cannot express itself verbally yet) to the doctor because he is showing certain erratic behaviors. The doctor runs an assessment and wrongly says that there is nothing wrong with the child; however, the fact is that he is showing some autistic…
