The sight at the Democratic convention on Wednesday night of Tim Walz’s 17-year-old son leaping to his feet, with streaming eyes, a hand to his chest with a cry of “That’s my Dad” was heart piercing.
Gus Walz has, according to his parents, a nonverbal learning disorder, A.D.H.D.
One of the joys of my life in the social churn of New York is living with a son whose inability to read the room makes him incapable of telling anything but the truth.
Once, as my husband, Harry Evans, and I left a pretentious social gathering in the Hamptons, Georgie told the host sunnily: “Thank you very much.
No one spoke to me really, so it was a very boring evening.
