Did Carney and the Liberals run on an austerity platform?
I don't recall this, but suddenly there's no money for the things we should be "Elbows Up" about. While there's abundant money for the military, surveillance and security.

There are some scientists starting to look into the connection between people with migraine and autism/neurodevelopmental disability

(Migraine, like Autism, also has strong genetic links.)

Suspect that even if acetaminophen was taken for migraine pain, it still wouldn’t be cause of Autism.

Oh man 😭😭

We also know that parental illness in months prior to pregnancy is also indicated in higher rates of Autism.

Suspect that it’s underlying genetic likelihood, triggered by viral illness.

Not analgesics.

But Dr Oz is gonna make bank on this, and scientists are losing funding… so…

For example, we know that COVID can cause neurodevelopmental disabilities - if acetaminophen is the only thing a pregnant person can take to reduce pain and fever during infection, is it the medicine or the infection causing them to take the meds?

I’ve just done a quick glance thru that study.

My question is: were the studies ref’d looking only at Tylenol use, or why the pregnant person was taking it in the first place?

We know that fever & other illness can induce neurodevelopmental disability.

Were they taking Tylenol b/c they were sick?

I dunno, but they defo deserve to, as well.

how did *we* let that happen?

when we stopped advocating for remote opt's to be made avail for high risk, disabled, marginalized & vulnerable ppl

when we decided it was 'too hard' (yes, VSB parent "advocates"'ve said that to me)

we said it's ok to exclude some ppl

some eventually becomes any/all

@reddyforchange.bsky.social is one of only two trustees who has ever taken advocacy for inclusion seriously; it's not surprising to see she'd also be one of the first people denied inclusion beyond disabled students and parents
