My children aren't autistic because of vaccines, they're getting it the old fashioned way: from me.
"To [the autistic] community, the danger of antivax wasn’t just about unvaccinated kids getting measles: it was about the demonization of autistic people as toxic and an epidemic. To protest antivaxxers, as an autistic person, has always been a statement of pride." By Anne Borden King.

When writing alt text, be specific but also succinct. Stick to as few words as you can. Is the clothing relevant? Is the color of the plate important? What about the weather in the background? Decide whether this info adds or distracts from the context of the image.

Don't write generic descriptions for alt text. "Screenshot of a news article" might technically describe an image, but it does nothing to convey the information or context sighted users get from the image. People who can't see the image need the same information and context.

To make online meetings and presentations more accessible, use clear language and limit text on each slide. Use consistent design in presentations to reduce the cognitive load on each slide. Start slides with a summary/overview and end with a review of the most important points.
