I’m a little sad today. I found out a friend is in favour of banning certain library books. As a librarian, I was trained to oppose censorship. It’s in the American Library Association Code of Ethics: www.ala.org/tools/ethics We fight for your right to read.

Government committees should not be spreading lies like this. It is bad for research. It is bad for autistic people. It is bad for everyone. Our community deserves a better IACC. But we have power. Read our full statement here. autisticadvocacy.org/2026/09/take...

Orange textured background. Text reads: Plain Language Explainer: Take IACCtion and demand better! Full explainer on website.

Orange textured background. There's a white box with the following text: The Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee (IACC) continues to not follow the rules and do their job. The IACC’s job is to give the government advice about how the autism community wants research money about autism to be spent.

The IACC broke almost all of the rules and also spread a lot of lies about autistic people and science: lies about autistic people, lies about vaccines, lies about our community.

The autistic community has seen a lot of these lies before. And we have fought back against them. A lot of people talk about autism in a better way now than they used to. Our community made that change. And we can make that change again.

We wrote a resource to explain the government shutdown in plain language. We talk about what a shutdown is, and how it affects people. You can read the plain language resource here: autisticadvocacy.org/2025/10/plai...

Dark blue textured background. Text reads: The US government shutdown continues. But what does that mean? What is a shutdown? How does it affect people? Check out our full plain language explainer on our website

Blue textured background with a grey box. Inside text reads: What does it mean that the government is shut down? The law says that every year, the government needs to pass a new budget. If a new budget doesn’t get passed, the government isn’t allowed to do most of its work. A government shutdown happens when Congress can’t agree on a new budget. The government stops working until Congress agrees on a new budget.

Some U.S. government workers get “furloughed” during a shutdown. Being furloughed means that they don’t get paid. It means they cannot work.

Blue textured background. Text reads: How long will the shutdown last? There is no way to know how long a government shutdown will last. Ending the shutdown depends on Congress. They need to agree to pass a new budget. What does the shutdown mean for the benefits I use? There are many different kinds of benefit programs that might be effected by the shutdown. These include:

Healthcare
SSI/SSDI
SNAP (food stamps)
Housing programs
Unemployment benefits

Check out our full plain language explainer for details on how these programs may be impacted.

Blue textured background. Text reads: Where can I get help during the shutdown? Our plain language explainer has a list of resources that can help during the shutdown.

Check out the explainer on our website and share it with others!
