On Interdependence: "As a parent I don’t want to stunt my Autistic child’s growth by assuming she can’t do things. I also don’t want her to feel like I don’t understand the very real struggle & pain she experiences when the demands of her life exceed her capacity."

Last year, when I was at MSNBC, I did a 10-minute deep-dive into RFK Jr's anti-vaxxer role in the measles outbreak that killed dozens and dozens of kids in Samoa.

I hope every Senator voting in his confirmation process for HHS knows about this crucial and awful story:

A thread about him. I love historians
Ea-nāṣir is the recipient of the world’s oldest complaint letter. He’s reportedly the worst businessman of the 18th century, a mediocre conman whose actions should have him put out of business. Is this fair?

Here’s a thread on the most up-to-date research on this captivating figure.

Please share: A sharp reminder that Health and Human Services secretary nominee RFK Jr. “is one of the most prominent promoters of disinformation that vaccines cause autism, despite dozens of rigorously conducted medical studies that have debunked the claim.” Gift article.

Opinion | The main reason RFK Jr. is unqualified to serve as HHS secretary
RFK Jr is an activist, not a scientist. That should be disqualifying to head HHS.

Holidays unsettle autistic children for legitimate reasons. If your child thrives on routine, consider how challenging this time of the year can be. But we can support our kids through seasonal chaos, if we help them cope with whatever disruptions or delights the holidays may bring.
