Disability is a natural part of the human experience.
To the neurodivergent and disabled folks who may feel ostracized by the Trump administration's "autism announcement," you are enough. You are not a burden. You are supported. You are loved.
Disability is not the enemy.

The @washingtonpost.com story on Tylenol & autism leaves out a MAJOR 2.5M sibling-controlled study of children in Denmark, which "found no evidence that acetaminophen use during pregnancy was associated with children’s risk of autism, ADHD or intellectual disability." jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
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.

Credit to the AP for this headline, which puts front and center the "unproven" and "without new evidence" absurdity of this farce. What a world when we decimate science and promote alternative facts. I feel for moms who will fear that treating pains of pregnancy means putting their children at risk.
BREAKING: President Trump promotes unproven ties between Tylenol, vaccines and autism without new evidence.
Trump promotes unproven ties between Tylenol, vaccines and autism without new evidence
President Donald Trump is using the platform of the presidency to promote unproven ties between Tylenol, vaccines and autism without giving new evidence.

"So still today, in the US, chemicals are innocent until proven toxic. Whether testing forever chemicals or microplastics, you and I are the lab rats. This uncontrolled pollution that puts profit over people is the enemy, not disability."

At our action team meeting yesterday, we discussed the article "Climate Change Is Ushering in an 'Age of Disability.'" The piece explores how artists and writers explore disability, debility, and environmental injustice.

September is #WorldAlzheimer'sMonth. Learn more & challenge the stigma by visiting www.worldalzmonth.org.
As climate advocates, we should educate ourselves on disabilities like Alzheimer's to be better allies, and also, since environmental factors can contribute to the development of the disease.

If you combine the Inflation Reduction Act (a step forward) and the One Big Beautiful Bill (a step backward), we still have the biggest climate investment in American history. The silver lining is that the remaining policies have that bipartisan stamp of approval. - Daniel Palken, Ph.D. #CCL2025
