Nothing about us without us means that we must have a say in autism research priorities! The IACC put out a Strategic Plan that tells the government what they think should happen with autism research and policy. Take action by August 20th by sending a comment! autisticadvocacy.org/iacction-cen...

Watercolor blue background. Text reads: It’s time to take IACCtion! The IACC is a government group that makes important choices about autism research funding. The IACC wrote a Strategic Plan that tells the government what the IACC thinks should happen with autism research and policy.
The IACC is taking comments about the Strategic Plan until August 20th. You can use our plain language comment guide to send in a comment to let the IACC know what you think about the plan!

Watercolor blue background. Text reads: The Strategic Plan is over 300 pages long. The IACC did not give a lot of time for people to read and understand the plan. ASAN wrote a plain language comment guide to help people understand the Strategic Plan and write comments.
For more information on the IACC and to learn how to submit comments, check out our IACCtion center. IACCtion is a page on ASAN’s website that contains plain language information about the IACC, including our plain language comment guide.
Take action by August 20th!

Eeee! It’s in print! I have a poem in the September issue of #highlightshighfivemagazine and it is so thrilling to see it out there, and see Sarah Rebar’s super fun art for it too! In true #kidlit reality-check, today my 2025 submissions got declined. #justkeepwriting #preschool #highfive

Photograph of the cover of the September 2025 issue of Highlights High Five magazine, which is illustrated with cartoon-style art of an elephant and a tiger in a front-facing fire truck in front of a pale blue sky, captioned “Let’s Do This!”

Fortunately, the atmospheric pressure systems present when cheese blizzards occur somehow counteracts stomach pain! #kidlitchat

A cheese blizzard is a severe cheesestorm with strong winds and low visibility, lasting for at least three or four hours. Open your mouth and just chew on shredded cheese as it falls. Make cheese angels. Oh, it is OK to eat the yellow cheese. #kidlitchat

No such thing as bad cheese weather, only bad cheese gear! Hot cheddar deluge calls for soft pretzel boots and tortilla chip umbrella. #kidlitchat

Probably my kids, which is sort of humbling to realize. But who else is going to monologue at me about cheese blizzards? #kidlitchat

I was just thinking something similar. Also that "fuel" doesn't feel like how my creativity works - more like flow. When I am creative I don't feel like it's been sparked, more like all the blocking forces (internal and external) have gotten out of the way for the moment. #kidlitchat

I'm gonna keep saying it: AI is built on stolen copyrighted materials. How can we teach our students that they have to cite their sources and shouldn't pirate materials and simultaneously teach them to use AI tools? #TLSky #EduSky school library arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

I really really need you guys to make a conscious rejection of generative AI tools part of your ongoing political resistance. Don't use ChatGPT. Turn off Gemini. Don't read the AI results forced upon you at the top of Google search. Don't use AI art generators or support anyone who does. Please.

Just in case you thought that removing DEI criteria would mean that everyone is competing equally: NIH is removing grad students from underrepresented backgrounds from the applicant pool altogether. Their applications will not be considered. Other students, not from these backgrounds, will be.

Update: They were removed from our reviewer assignments completely. I'm so sorry to all those graduate students.

Anonymous to protect the identity of the NIH employee I spoke to...I am on study section next month to discuss F awards. We were just instructed to put the F31-Diversity applications on the bottom of our priority list for review because there is a chance we may not be able to review them. My heart is breaking for the grad students and their mentors that put so much work into these just for them to be disqualified and thrown out.

BATHE THE CAT text Alice B. McGinty, illus. David Roberts #kidlit 📚👍🏼 - Every character in this book is the best. Even the fish. It was so much fun to read aloud with kids who are starting to read and can jump in and enjoy the giggle-inducing word jumbled repetitions.

Cis people, here’s what you do: Find your reps on house.gov & senate.gov. Write up a message. “I’m asking you to speak out against the EO cutting federal funds for gender-affirming medical care for transgender folks under 19.” Call or email each office & read/send your message. Now keep doing that.
