You can look all day for environmental reasons to “blame” for autism but I have never met an autistic kid who didn’t have at least one autistic parent or parents w traits
Not knowing you’re autistic doesn’t make you less autistic; thinking it’s “bad” makes you less likely to want to know it

A buyin protest was organized for a Home Depot in Monrovia a suburb in LA County.
Compared to a boycott, protesters buy then immediately return an item; at this protest aptly, they bought and returned an ice scraper.
Booyah! LA in the house.
Story in the LA Times.
Proud of my city.

We need to tell our non-scientist people that the CDC is no longer a trusted source of information.
I follow mostly scientists here and we’re all right on top of what’s going on at federal agencies but I wouldn’t take it for granted that lay people have the same awareness.

My assessment of where America stands, one year after the election.
A fascistic movement controls the government; they are building an authoritarian state; but they have not been able yet to extend authoritarian rule across society. A democracy no more, but not a consolidated autocratic regime yet:
