"Every person deserves to be treated with dignity" is a very harmful thing to say to someone when it's followed by a very clear lack of dignity towards you because of who you are.

Minecraft's update enforces UK law for age verification, but I'm in Canada. Still though, I couldn't use the chat on my own server, also in Canada, until I went to the UK page to try to verify my age only to have it tell me that I don't have to and THEN it let me chat. Brilliant.

"My mom said to me that gayness is really bad" This is what one young player told another young player on Autcraft today. Parents... please don't teach your children to hate. Whatever you want to do, that's on you, but please don't raise your children to hate people.

When you see "facts" being shared on big social media accounts, remember, not only did they not fact check, they likely made stuff up, even the images. Below is the real photo I sent to @cbcnews.ca and the other two are AI generated images that social media accounts made from it.

Annual Halloween reminder: If someone comes to your door for candy, give them some. It doesn't matter what age they are, what they look like, if they have a costume, if they can say "trick or treat" or not... give them candy. Don't judge. Be kind. Make them happy.

How exactly does this guy think autism enters the brain? And where does he think people's brains are?

"There was no autism in my day." Sure there was but back then you called people the r-word, slow, unfocused, anti-social, weird, freak, or any number of other derogatory terms. Or you just didn't see them at all because they were separated off into other classes or institutions.

Many top scientists are on the autism spectrum. So technically, autism causes Tylenol.

Stuart Duncan @autcraft.com · 23/09/2025

The only way you can blame Tylenol for being autistic is if one of your parents happens to be named Tylenol.

Stuart Duncan @autcraft.com · 22/09/2025

Regardless of what the current US administration would like you to believe, autism is NOT caused by Tylenol, which first came on the market in 1955, while autism was first described in 1911. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... (a short thread)

As I complete another interview with someone doing their thesis/dissertation, I realize this is becoming more popular. Before Autcraft, people wrote about limiting screen time but now countless papers are about the benefits of video games and online play for autistic people.

I hate that "ghosting" has become a thing for people to hate. I'm not ghosting you, I'm recharging my social battery, or taking a mental health break, or screaming into the void, or I wrote out a response and never hit send, or I just hate your guts. You never know, but I am not ghosting you.

My fear is that RFK Jr's registries and attacks on autistic people will cause less people to seek a diagnosis or speak up, and when autism rates begin to decline as a result, they'll claim that as a victory and use that to justify removing vaccines entirely.

Stuart Duncan @autcraft.com · 24/04/2025

Autism isn't new just because you've never heard of it before. The % of people being autistic isn't increasing, we're doing a better job of diagnosing people. There is no epidemic. We've always been here. Be accepting, not scared.

People angry about RFK Jr's comments on autism are missing the point, his mission is to make you sick. Casting doubts on vaccines is the best way to do that. They know most people won't believe the things he says, but enough people will to not vaccinate and jeopardize herd immunity.
