This year, Autism Acceptance Month falls at a time when we’re seeing a flood of threats against disabled people’s rights and communities, but the self-advocacy movement has made it through storms before and we will again.

They really need to stop this nonsense. ASD is a hereditary multifactorial genetic trait in more than 80% of cases. Not an epidemic.
RFK Jr: "By September we will know what has caused the autism epidemic and we will be able to eliminate those exposures."

It's #AutismAcceptanceMonth! The 2025 theme, "Celebrate Differences," reminds us that every person is unique. Autism isn’t something to fix—it’s a part of life to embrace. Let’s foster acceptance, inclusion, and appreciation for the strengths autism brings! Resources: tr.ee/AAM

HHS, through CDC, is restricting access to health services for local communities. It is shameful and stupid. Clearly their objective is to Make America Sicker Again (well, except if you have the access and means to do otherwise).
We received notice from the CDC that our funding for Care-A-Van has been terminated, effective March 24, 2025. As a result of this unexpected decision, we must immediately suspend Care-A-Van operations. Thank you to all of our requestors and community partners for your support.

Can RFK Jr leave autistic kids the f... alone? They don't need him and his cod oil and his lies about vaccines.

Special Ed has absolutely nothing to do with HHS.
Trump announces that the Small Business Administration will immediately handle all federal student loans, and RFK Jr is now in charge of "handling special needs and all of the nutrition programs and everything else."

At the #StandUpForScience March in Seattle. We stand up and fight back.

A lot of good signs out there.

Just in one year, just the clean air act, prevented hundreds of thousands of early deaths. The lowest possible estimate of the benefits found that benefits outweigh the costs by 3 to 1. The most likely estimate is 30 to 1. The high estimate is 90 to 1. Ninety. Nine Zero. www.epa.gov/clean-air-ac...

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.

You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.

My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.

A call, on record, for annexing a sovereign country. History, past and present, tells us it never ends well.

Evening reading to prepare for the next growing season. An excellent reference book on seed saving, brought to me by my local library.
