I was extremely relieved to see this post, as I’d been afraid that Kilmar Abrego Garcia had been killed. But he needs to be brought back to the U.S. & given his due process rights. Keep up the pressure! I’m glad the courts are confronting FOTUS about their flouting of the law & the Constitution.

Yet, when I diagnose a kid this is always a parent question I get about meds.

There’s an awful NYT article about ADHD going around. I’m not going to signal boost it, but I want to say one thing: Raising the specter of “addiction” with regard to people with ADHD using stimulants always makes me laugh. Most of us have trouble even remembering to take and refill our medications.

I find the proposed existence of autism subtypes fascinating.
An analysis of 20 autism mouse models point to two subtypes: One displaying out-of-sync brain activity and impaired synaptic pathways, the other with too much synchrony and dysregulated immune pathways.

Too much or too little brain synchrony may underlie autism subtypes
Functional connectivity differences in autism mouse models point to two subtypes that correspond to patterns seen in some people with the condition.
