No, according to actual reports from the McCain campaign...according to the Palin family.

These two diagnoses are similar in that they are devastating to families who hear of this diagnosis for their child.

However, Trig's "autism" is not a correct label. Trig has a genetic disorder called "Trisomy 21" or more commonly known as "Down Syndrome." It used to be referred to as Mongolism because of the asian facial features that children with this genetic disorder display such as slanted eyes. The most recent (and politically correct term) is Trisomy 21 or Down Syndrome.

I admit it--I am a complete politics junkie for this election.

I spend my days surfing between blogs that give opinions on the election...I celebrate each poll point heading north for the Blue...I gain excitement when I find blogs that question the judgement of McCain/Palin...I even do this (shhh...at work...soon to be busted, I'm afraid!)
