Autistic people have more chronic pain from hypermobility, EDS, migraines, and sensory overwhelm etc. and so take more Tylenol/acetaminophen/paracetamol than non-autistic people do.
And autistic people also have more autistic kids than non-autistic people do.
This is not rocket science.

I am fascinated by this guy who was a Higher Ed administrator and has now moved into teaching classes as a faculty member. He is documenting his whole journey on TikTok. Over the summer, he had so much excitement 🧵

For those following the NIH budget fight, the next big development will be this Tuesday, Sept 2nd, with the House LHHS subcommittee markups. The bill text will likely come out late Monday. The House bill is likely to be closer to the president's budget request than the Senate's was, so be prepared.

An actual thing that happened to me at work one time was that some time after I disclosed as autistic, my leader sent me some really good free training on neurodiversity in the workplace and asked if I thought it'd be useful. I got excited, completed it all myself, and highly recommended it.

My developmental psych class in college had an *entire* module dedicated to early childhood television programming and the gold standard has been and always will be Sesame Street.
Talk about The Wire, Sopranos, Game of Thrones all you want, but the greatest US television program ever made is Sesame Street. It's not even close. 50+ years of treating kids across class, ethnicity, religion not as mini-consumers...but as citizens with a stake in this world.
