You cannot prevent disability. I want people to understand that.
Even if you eat healthy, exercise, and have access to healthcare. Disability can and will happen.
Advocate for free healthcare. Advocate for better resources. Advocate for accessibility. Advocate for inclusion.
Many studies suggest a major cause of autism is the mutated sperm of elderly fathers, but in a centuries old tradition (see everything from schizophrenia to eating disorders), men have decided to blame women for taking Tylenol while pregnant (despite no valid supporting studies).
Fun child psychiatry fact!
If we analyze a group of 40-year-old adults with the same diagnostic criteria & screening as we use currently on children, we get virtually identical rates of autism.
"Exploding rates of autism" likely a reflection of our exploding understanding.
This is because in 2013 the *definition* of autism was expanded to include Asperger's, CDD, PDD-NOS, and the Autistic Disorder.
Numbers went up because the definition changed to include more variants. And testing and awareness of Autism just got better over time. This is insane.
No. That’s what pastors and civilians should be doing. We pay members of Congress to ask hard questions, start investigating, find out if the government could have done more. Do it now before the next storm. We aren’t paying you to pray. We are paying you to help all of us.
If only there was some kind of government agency assigned to monitor and give advance warning. Something like a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. That would be a great agency to fund well and never gut it's funding to give early warning to save lives in these situations.

The fact that all these Republican lawmakers are running around trying (& often, failing) to get specific carve outs in their own bill so THEIR community isn’t subject should tell you all you need to know.
If they think it’s so great, why don’t they want it as-is for themselves?
Trump said if elected he would end all wars in 24 hours and instead he bombs Iran and starts WWIII. I would like to offer my heartfelt “fuck you” to everyone who voted for this and everyone who sat this election out claiming “both sides are the same.”
I have ZERO patience for Americans whining "I didn't vote for this."
EVERY SENTIENT BEING ON THE PLANET KNEW WHAT YOU WERE VOTING FOR, TRIED TO WARN YOU AND YOU VOTED FOR IT ANYWAY.
@DaveMoore010101@charliekirk11 Interestingly, the occurrence of phantom genitalia is significantly reduced following gender reassignment surgeries compared to other cases of penis amputation. The phenomenon originates in the brain, so transgender people are less likely to experience it
Trump honoring a child with brain cancer tonight and then leading a standing ovation for him while simultaneously eliminating all spending for child cancer research is a perfect encapsulation of MAGA morality.
