It’s a cover up.

How MAHA poisons the food movement RFK Jr. could make legitimate critiques of the ways we grow and process food appear crackpot.

Rather than pushing food production in a healthier direction, Kennedy’s ascent could bolster the status quo.

I'm so glad I found you here. I'm trying to cut down on Facebook because it's so toxic. I'm AuDHD in my 50's with a teen just a little younger than you. I started watching your videos because she has ARFID and there is like zero support where we are now. We are also homeschooling.

There are many differences in the U.S. & U.K.'s legal system & decisions. In 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that discrimination based on gender identity qualifies as sex discrimination in Bostock v. Clayton County, a decision numerous lower courts reaffirmed.

In a devastating decision, the United Kingdom’s Supreme Court has ruled that trans women are ineligible for protections as women under their 2010 Equality Act.

While this is a heartbreaking decision, the Court affirmed that trans people are protected under many of the U.K.’s nondiscrimination laws.

Isolation harms everyone but especially ADHDers!

Four panel meme drawing, labelled "ASAN Leadership." First panel is a green figure iwth a hat in a cave opening a chest, saying "I've finally found it...after 15 years." Second panel is the same being pulling out a shining scroll and saying, "The scroll of truth!" Third panel is the scroll unraveled and it says, "Workers organizing show they care deeply about their work and their community they serve, not that they're trying to harm the organization." Fourth panel, the figure throws the scroll and yells, "Nyehhh."

This report estimates how many autistic 8-year-olds there are in certain are...

Those new 1 in 31 autism rates are NOT evidence of an "autism epidemic": @autisticadvocacy.org is not surprised to see the diagnosis rate increase. We believe—as the report explains—this increase reflects better recognition & diagnosis of autism across the U.S."

So what do you think? 😂

Hey Trump, Musk, and Congressional Republicans:
HANDS OFF OUR JUDGES!

Hope this helps.

Neither Neurodivergence Nor Mental Illness Made Them Bigots—They're Just Awful People It's hard to admit your heroes are jerks, but the mentally ill and neurodivergent shouldn't be collateral damage.

Autism didn’t make them do it. Mental illness didn’t, either. This personal piece from The Big Picture cuts through the excuses and names the real issue: some people are just hateful, and we need to stop giving them cover.

Autism & the double empathy problem | Embrace Autism In this article, Dr. Debra Bercovici PhD will cover the double empathy problem and the triple empathy problem, and examine how they impact autistics.

Autistics don't need "social skills training," not unless non-autistics are ALSO being trained in autistic social expectations. When we only use neurotypical norms and expectations, autistics will always look “deficient” & neurotypicals will always look “capable.”
