"autism didn't exist back in my day"
(lemmy.nz)
dude was an absolute character
In between those events, he won 22 games for the Philadelphia Athletics; [...] toured the nation in a melodrama called The Stain of Guilt; courted, married, and became separated from May Wynne Skinner of Lynn, Massachusetts; saved a woman from drowning; accidentally shot a friend through the hand; and was bitten by a lion."
the wikipedia just RANDOMLY DROPPED that he was bitten by a LION with no context?!?
In elementary school we never heard of autism, and this was way before Talwin and Ritalin came on the scene, but we had something called "Mrs. Dooley's Class".
