3. Acetaminophen does not cause autism
4. Leucovorin is not a proven treatment for autism
5. So-called facilitated communication does not help children with autism
(read it though, this is a gift link!)

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

Thank you to this cat who brought my kid so much joy in his early years.
Maru, first famous internet cat who pulled me through so many late nights in college, has passed :(
He lived to a ripe old age of 18 but I was hoping he'd crack the secrets of immortality and live forever :(((

Clearly there's an upper bound, where the pumpkin's gravitational field exceeds the electromagnetic force that keeps the pumpkin from self annihilating as its electrons crash into the atomic nuclei that make up its constituent atoms.

There is no autism epidemic.
There is only better identification of existing autistic people.
Anyone claiming otherwise is either ignoring, denying—or does not understand—contemporary autism research, or is selling something.
