No, not all hand flapping is automatically a sign of autism. It can be. I think there are a lot of kids who are diagnosed with ASD (autism spectrum disorders). Most of that has to do with the spectrum being broadened in recent years. Some of the kids included on the spectrum barely have delays!
Thomas Jefferson's Death. After being president, Jefferson retired to Monticello. He sold his book collection to be the base of the Library of Congress. At 76 years old, he played a major role in the founding of Virginia University. He died of unknown causes on July 4, 1826, just hours before his friend, John Adams. Since he was 83 years old, it is assumed he died of natural causes.
Sherman Hemsley, who as George Jefferson ensured that black folks would never again be invisible on television, died Tuesday at his El Paso home. He was 74. Police said Hemsley was discovered by his nurse and apparently died of natural causes. Hemsley played Jefferson for two years on âAll in the Family,â from 1973-75, then starred opposite Isabel Sanford from 1975 to 1985 on their own spinoff, âThe Jeffersons.â Isabel Sanford died in 2004 at age 86. George Jefferson was not the first black character on television, but he remains one of the most indelible.
