My personal timeline is full of autistic people trying to explain that there isn't more autism than before, it's just that we're better at detecting it, and there's nothing more autistic than hoping explaining something at length will help matters when nobody is really listening.

I haven't had time to read up on the latest shooting, but I'm going to post my incredibly radical position that a shooting is bad no matter who did it and no matter who was shot.
Stop trying to crack the code of a shooter's motives and focus on the one thing they all have in common -- the guns.

Obviously, there's no scientific link between Tylenol and autism. These political statements harm pregnant people and those with autism.
RFKj's entire rhetoric around autism is anti-science and stigmatizing. It's not based in reality.
Don't let their pseudoscience fool you.

⚠️ CDC quietly updated its webpage to caution pregnant people about acetaminophen (Tylenol).
Sneaky changes driven by politics instead of science erode public trust and put lives at risk.
As scientists who once shaped CDC's webpages, this is heartbreaking. 💔

Reminder: You don’t need to report your activism on social media. Some accounts are being highly critical of what they see/don’t see happening. You don’t owe them anything. Focus on what you can do and let them yell into the void.
