“Chelation therapy” for autism, quackery better described as administering dangerous drugs for no actual indication (often the wrong/less safe chelator drugs, too) for cash to try to suck “autism-causing toxins” out of children (autism is not caused by postnatal toxic exposure) has *killed* children

From @gregggonsalves.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/1882...
The reality is, most people don’t really understand what public health does. The pandemic increased that sense of uncertainty and misunderstanding, Gonsalves said. “It’s not masking and vaccine mandates. It’s the fact that you don’t get food poisoning when you walk into a restaurant, the water coming out of your tap isn’t filled with lead, your building tiles aren’t filled with asbestos, you don’t have to deal with polio or other childhood infectious diseases.” In order to save public health, we need to understand the countless and almost entirely invisible ways it saves our lives every day.

Our progressive thought-shapers need to stop treating autism and disability as rare and tragic exceptions, instead of commonplace, both now and throughout history. Parents-to-be need to be aware that autism is a possibility they can prepare for, not a tragedy. #autism #parenting #neurodiversity

Today’s the 36th anniversary of the ADA and maybe I’m naive, but I think we can live in a world where access doesn’t have to be legislated and a disabled person’s value isn’t determined by their productivity under capitalism and white disabled people aren’t centered and we care for each other.

Disabled people deserve housing, healthcare, food and assistance. They deserve a living wage. They shouldn’t be forced to beg for scraps, barred from having assets or forced to re-justify their disability over and over. When basic needs are denied, people die. It’s passive eugenics.

We all like to think that institutionalization of disabled people is a thing of the past. But when I look at how many systemic failures there are for disabled people (especially those who rely on other people), I think that the core concept of institutionalization is alive and all too well.
