My letter to the editor from today's Miami Herald. www.miamiherald.com/opinion/lett...

RFK Jr being rebutted by my friend of almost 40 years @davidruttenberg.bsky.social David is the only time that Florida Man makes a headline and it's actually a good thing www.miamiherald.com/opinion/lett...

As a neuroscientist, entrepreneur, and father to an autistic daughter, I reject the idea that autism is a “preventable epidemic.” Rising diagnoses reflect greater awareness and equity, not a crisis.

@thinkingautism.bsky.social just saying hello to the TI tribe. CogNeuro Scientist and Dad to a 22 year old woman who like all of you is phenomenal. Wishing you all a terrific week.

It is the most bittersweet of Valentine's Days. On 2-14-18, 17 innocent members of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas community never came home. 17 others were injured. Our gov't failed then and they’ve failed too many others since. Enough! #Parkland #StonemanDouglas #NeverForget

This says it all

Science matters. Research matters. Without gov't funding for research infrastructure, breakthroughs in crucial areas like autism & neuroscience become improbable. #Autism #ADHD #Epilepsy #Neuroscience #WakeUpWhiteHouse @autisticadvocacy.org @nddesk.bsky.social @ippr.bsky.social @nihr.bsky.social

Let's not forget about crucial accommodations for individuals with invisible talents & differences. Just like physical accommodations, supports are essential for success at work, academia & social settings. #InvisibleDifferencesMatter #Accommodations @autisticadvocacy.bsky.social @ioe.bsky.social

Sensory sensitivity is a real challenge for many individuals, and it’s important that we recognize and accommodate this invisible difference in workplaces and social environments. Let’s lead the way in promoting understanding & inclusivity. #SensorySensitivity #InclusiveSpaces #UnderstandingMatters

Sensory sensitivity, distractibility, anxiety, and fatigue. It’s a chicken, egg, chicken, and egg puzzle...that deserves to be understood. Especially for autistic adults at work, in school, and socially. #AutismResearch #DisruptingTheConversation

"Many times a day I realize how my own outer and inner life is built upon the labors of my fellow human beings, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received and am still receiving”. -A. Einstein @autisticadvocacy.bsky.social

“Bluesky is much better for science. There is much less toxicity, misinformation, and distractions,” wrote one respondent. “My feed is almost entirely scientists and I actually get updates on research that is relevant and timely,” wrote another. #ScienceSky #AcademicSky

Yes, this is a problem: The law’s attitude toward exports demonstrated “a flagrant double-standard [that]...refuse to stop EU companies selling rights-violating AI systems to the rest of the world..." gizmodo.com/eu-ai-act-go...

Mobility leads to motility. Blessed relief. Better still...hanging out with your daughter after a nice 5k hike. Enjoy your days... even the trying ones.

Covid just sucks. After taking every vax jab. After wearing masks. After 5 days of Paxlovid. I'm so washed out. But I am grateful to be alive. Therefore... Rant over. Let the gratitude resume.

Autism isn't the issue; it's business trying to "fix" it. There's no cure, & those with it don't seek one. Some "scientists" push questionable treatments, which is distressing for parents like me. It's disheartening when families depend on well-meaning pros for authenticity. doi.org/10.53053/UJP...

@sjelms.bsky.social Welcome, sir. Long time no speak. Might be nice to organize a hang. Happy festive season to you and yours!

The Danish government has decided to present a new support package to Ukraine worth €1 billion. THANK YOU DENMARK 🇩🇰💙💛

"Paxlovid Mouth" (i.e., dysgeusia) is a real thing. I can testify that it tastes like "grapefruit juice mixed with soap." Oh, the journey continues to be wondrous. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

Literally the core of autism research and "treatment" is the assumption that autistic folks are not people.

A 6th decade underway. Man o man...am I lucky. Grateful. Blessed.

1st post. Not sure where 2 begin. Furious with Musk. Grateful 2 be alive. Love love love ethical AI. Champion autistic adults and their right 2 b accommodated, heard, & honored. Invisible differences rule. Sensory sensitivity, attention, & mental health for all. @autism @ethics @differences
