Melania Trump – Slams Rumors That Barron Trump Is Autistic

In her new book, ‘Melania,’ the former first lady makes it pretty clear that her one and only son is not autistic and that he was absolutely hurt by the rumors that had actually began thanks to Donald Trump’s former friend turned enemy, Rosie O’Donnell.

Back in 2016, Rosie sent out a tweet that Barron was autistic without providing any evidence that he was at the time.

Barron was only ten years old at the time and according to his mother Melania, it took a lot of time to repair the damage that was done to his self-confidence. She also accused Rosie O’Donnell of “sheer malice.”

She wrote in her book,Barron’s experience of being bullied both online and in real life following the incident is a clear indication of the irreparable damage caused.”

Melania Trump – Sets The Record Straight About What Really Happened

“There is nothing shameful about autism (though O’Donnell’s tweet implied that there was), but Barron is not autistic.”

“I was appalled by such cruelty. It was clear to me that she was not interested in raising awareness about autism. I felt that she was attacking my son because she didn’t like my husband.”

Melania continued, “Someone had painstakingly compiled the footage and added captions like, ‘His hands are moving erratically and aren’t touching each other. Then he was spotted making strange movements in his seat, typical of children with autism.”

Melania added that she was devastated as a parent and that her heart broke into pieces for her son.

    For one thing no one needs to be talking about other people’s children no matter what it’s no one’s business this can hurt families that’s my opinion and I don’t blame Melania Trump I’d reacted the same way. It’s a way of protection for our children. It’s just ppl don’t need to cast their opinions about other ppl family.
