From #INSAR2026 Scientific Chair Christine Nordahl:
"Talking to autistic people and their families has really changed how I view autism research. Not just people who can advocate for themselves, but also families of children with profound autism."

This World Autism Day, we are shining a light on autistic people who require lifetime, 24/7 care. Did you know that only 6% of clinical autism research includes them?
We are working to change that. Learn more: https://t.co/bOnMgX7jQg

Today is World Autism Day.
In 2023, the CDC reported that 26.7% of people with autism have profound autism. Its most recent report did not track this data. That gap matters.

Bonkers DumDum Takes Over the CDC. In a scandalous new low point for American science and public health, the CDC revises its website to state that childhood vaccines may cause autism. https://t.co/sNaEeIKe1N

TY @NCSAutismOrg@syngapmom 1st time contacting WI reps on behalf of my daughter-TY NCSA for advocacy training & resources! Great convos with offices of @tammybaldwin@RonJohnsonWI@RepGwenMoore who listened to my concerns about ensuring % of @NIH funding is for severe autism. ♥️
Everyone should be “pissed off” about the colossal increases in autism, says @JillEscher of @NCSAutismOrg.
While she appreciates the “sense of urgency” RFK Jr. brings to this issue, she also cautions, “Vaccines don't cause autism. . . and declining rates of vaccination in our children really pose a tremendous risk to our public health.”
