AceShowbiz - Rosie O'Donnell has clarified her stance after speculating if Donald Trump's son Barron was autistic. On Saturday, November 26, the former "The View" co-host shared a poem on her website after she received backlash over her tweet about the 10-year-old boy.
Rosie wrote, "Here is how it went down - my 3.5 yr old daughter Dakota was diagnosed in September with HFA - high functioning autism. I have been immersed in that world/reality since learning - reading - asking questions it's all autism - all the time for the newly diagnosed."
"When i saw the anti-bullying video that mentioned Barron, it spoke to the symptoms many ASD kids have it was educational and informational these symptoms so many do not understand - i thought - how amazing IF IF it is true IF it is true - I tweeted from my heart it would help so much with the autism epidemic," the 54-year-old comedian added.

Rosie said she had no ill toward her nemesis' son. "But this autism subject - had nothing to do with Donald though I admit he does trigger me in all ways - i have no ill will for his children - or any children," she shared, "And if u knew anything about me - u would know that donald does not have the power to change the facts to re write history so speak true - stand tall."
"For those who felt me a horror, what can I say humans we try r very best and fail often peace out as we try to save democracy from this madman who thinks OUR country is his," she concluded.
It was all started when Rosie tweeted last week a video showing Barron exhibiting behaviors. She captioned it, "Barron Trump Autistic? if so - what an amazing opportunity to bring attention to the AUTISM epidemic." Fans quickly flooded her Twitter, blaming her for picking on Barron.
