I’m in active treatment still, and I sometimes feel like I spend so much time managing side effects.

The secretary of health and human services finished Autism Awareness Month as he began it: spreading conspiracy theories, misinformation and lies about autism, vaccines, basic medical theories and more. Maybe that's enough awareness for now. Let's talk Medicaid. From @msnbc.com
msnbc.com
Opinion | RFK Jr.‘s ignorance about autism is bad enough. Republicans’ Medicaid cuts are worse.
Proposed reductions will have terrible consequences for autistic people and their families.

The next time you hear RFK Jr talk about how he wants to “make America healthy” and end the chronic illness epidemic … remember that he just chose to cut the entire NIOSH department. A group of people whose sole purpose is to help prevent sickness, death and disability.

My son is autistic, has Down syndrome, and qualifies for SSI. Our financial planning in the wake of my wife's own disability and unemployment counted on those funds as he turned 18. I do not think we will get them for years. (We will be ok, but less so!).

You don’t need to have photos of people doing the seig heil and you don’t need to show Musk’s face when you write about the coup. My feed is often suffused with both and they start to overwhelm the words of opposition accompanying them.

Most people have never heard of cholangiocarcinoma, yet it’s the 2nd most common liver cancer. Awareness isn’t just important—it’s life-changing. Knowledge leads to early detection, research, and hope. Let’s make CCA known. #WorldCCADay 🌍

"We need to see people resisting more" is at odds with keeping resistance fighters safe from the government identification who are looking for excuses to escalate. To a point, you have to believe A LOT of Americans are Doing The Work without insisting on endangering themselves to satisfy you.

Given that there’s a pause on FDA comms right now, it may be useful for Americans to sign up for Canadian recalls, since many products are sold in both countries. Eg fellow celiacs, this may clue you into products to watch out for on the US side too: recalls-rappels.canada.ca/en/subscribe

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH** * Currently paused by Executive Order ** Grant reviews now all canceled www.kcur.org/news/2025-01...

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect
Bird flu has killed millions of hens in recent weeks, shrinking the supply of eggs and hiking up prices at grocery stores.

What if there’s a public health emergency? Or a drug recall? We won’t hear from agencies we pay for, which Congress created to protect the public, because the Trump White House needs time to conduct a political purge.

Presuming competence does not mean all nonspeakers are secretly geniuses. It means we treat everyone as human—specifically people who really do have intellectual disabilities, & who really do need extensive support. From Julia Bascom's Dangerous Assumptions: thinkingautismguide.com/2019/06/dang...

Block text in alternating lines of black and red reads, "Presuming competence does not mean all nonspeakers are secretly geniuses. It means that we treat everyone as human—and specifically people with intellectual disability."

And also if you're not masking and would consider doing it just part-time—hospitals, pharmacies, public transportation and grocery stories are good places to mask, as people taking Covid seriously have to generally be there as well.

Another reminder: Respiratory infections spread mainly through the air. That’s why they affect the lungs. Masks, worn correctly and consistently, reduce the spread of respiratory infections. Respirators work better than masks. Washing hands isn’t wrong, but it won’t stop airborne transmission.
