Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.

Science does not work like this. The only way you can set a timeline is if you have rigged the results in advance.

Do not rely on the A.I.-generated alt text in Facebook or Instagram. The result is vague and unhelpful, like "may be an image of food and text," and "may be an image of outdoors." These do nothing to give users the context and content of an image.

Some frame accessibility around the fear of lawsuits. One problem is that this approach de-centers people with disabilities. Websites should be designed so people can use them. Designing a website just so it can pass a legal checklist violates the whole premise of accessibility.

Please stop using ChatGPT in general, but also, please, please stop using it and then taking what it says to you as fact. It's usually wrong! It doesn't fact check itself. It just creates approximations of information based on other text! It's basically magnetic poetry that sets the world ablaze.

Don't forget transcripts for video and audio. These will help blind users and low-vision users, deaf and hard-of-hearing users, people with ADHD, and people with audio-processing disorders. Transcripts also benefit search engines, people in quiet spaces, and people in a hurry.

ChatGPT is not a search engine nor a research database. Y'all need to stop treating it that way. You have to verify everything it tells you.

Your site's users need enough time to interact with content and fill out forms. People with disabilities such as blindness, low vision, dexterity impairments, and cognitive disabilities might need more time for things such as forms. Allow users to turn off or extend time limits.

Automated captions and transcripts can save time so that you don't have to manually transcribe on your own. But automated captions and transcripts aren't 100% accurate, so they need manual editing before you publish them.
