Today the cult leaders will claim to have figured out the cause of autism, and it'll be acetaminophen (Tylenol).

Here's an enormous study on this very correlation with stringent methodology and a sample size of 2.4 million children.

TL;DR - There's no link

Acetaminophen Use During Pregnancy and Children’s Risk of Autism, ADHD, and Intellectual Disability
This nationwide cohort study with sibling control analysis examines the association of acetaminophen use during pregnancy with children’s risk of autism, ADHD, and intellectual disability.

Loving my new session starter, "Welcome to the clinic. Tylenol does not cause Autism. You had ever right to manage your health and pain during pregnancy, you did nothing wrong. Im sorry you're being made to think so. You child rocks by the way, let's all go play pokemon"...we live in fun times.

Listening to an actual play D&D podcast while at work, in the peds clinic, questionable. Listening to an actual play Call of Cthulhu podcast at work, whoops turning that down. Sorry everyone

New stickers to drop needed happy chemical. When you can't make your own dopamine store bought is fine.

Reheard a song I had forgotten about. Sorry family, I'll be stimming to this on repeat today.

Celebrating 100 downloads on itch.io, and what better way to do it than with a D&D game.

I haven't been able to do everything I'd like to this month due to illness and recovering from surgery but I made some pride charms

When one party member is attacked, we all roll initiative.
These last few months have been stressful for many. It's so important for people to feel loved and safe year round but what I love about pride month is all the opportunities to gather as a community and remind each other, you are not alone.

Sharing can be hard, feeling like you having to share everything all the time is extra hard. Here to talk about siblings stress is Masen Mushrooms little sister Maisie.

Not the biggest turn out for my first class of psychologists today and the internet cut out halfway through but it only gets better from here. Also I could talk about harmful agencies, administrations, and stereotypes for hours without an audience anyway.

Squishy day! I cut, kids paint

Today as a way to use art to manage stress we cut up the transcript of RFk Jr's hate speech to make found poems. One kid really wanted to share theirs.

Life of an autistic autism therapist; someone broke my emotional support pop-it when in a meltdown.

Spent a slushy spring day making a taste safe slime out of 2 ingredients and a little water. Messy sensory play that was fast to clean up.

Rocking some bubbles for breathing skills today.
Top of a juice bottle, baby wipe, rubber band, and dish soap is all you need. Food coloring optional but recommended
