I love that Prince issued a takedown for this immediately to YouTube, and Radiohead then issued a non-takedown because Prince had no authority to do so as he wasn’t the copyright holder of the song. And Radiohead was annoyed they hadn’t had a chance to listen to it yet. 🤣🤣

Allies and soulmates of Trump may well become the next UK government. This why special needs parents plead with Labour ministers: do not take our hard-won rights away, from us or families who might face this in the future
There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.
America’s children deserve better than this.

Whether they're blaming vaccines and Tylenol, or selling dubious "remedies," what they're really doing is promoting the perception that families (and especially mothers) can prevent and treat Autism. And thus also the perception that people with Autism and their families don't need social support.

People say "autism never used to exist" and then you go to the Natural History Museum and the exhibit has a caption like "Born in 1762, The Revd [name] was famously irascible, steadfast in his routine, and dedicated his life to collecting 25,000 rare beetle specimens".
Fundamentally, the headbanging Right doesn't believe Autism (or ADHD) exists. Or in so far as it does exist, a human conspiracy has created it.
We're back to their core outlook that 'It didn't exist back in the good old days so can't exist now.'
'It must just be some modern woke Marxist nonsense'.
