oh that's *dangerous.* i feel the siren's call of scandinavian fish candies again...

i know i'm preaching to the choir, but people with autism or adhd are not tragedies to be cured. they're not heroes or martyrs - just people. you cannot prevent or cure autism or adhd. the only thing that comes from avoiding acetaminophen and vaccines because of autism or adhd is pain and sickness.

i didn't include this because i wanted to keep the story relatively focused, but if you didn't hear trump, and his sycophants also brought up vaccines causing autism. again, in my opinion, this is absolutely abhorrent.

you cannot prevent a child from developing autism or adhd, and in my opinion, the fervor around trying to reduce these conditions or even reverse (! good luck) them is misguided at best and malicious at worst. from what i saw last night, we're far from misguided.

trailblazers is one of my favorite things we do at c&en! and if you want even more trailblazing, you can read past profiles here: cen.acs.org/explore/inte...

oh my GOD i forgot i was going to make "it's frickin bats" my own post so thank you for being the one to say it!!
