vinces99 writes "The pattern of brain responses to words in 2-year-old children with autism spectrum disorder predicted the youngsters' linguistic, cognitive and adaptive skills at ages 4 and 6, according to a new study from the University of Washington's Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences. The findings are among the first to demonstrate that a brain marker can predict future abilities in children with autism."

    Let's talk about rancid assholes! Actually, let's not; actions speak louder than words, after all. Let's have a rancid asshole penetration party! My, my, my! That asshole you have there is... rather rancid, if I do say so myself! How about I shove my fetid cock right into that asshole of yours and then let your feces-infested rectum take care of the rest? What say you?
