Sharing from @autisticadvocacy.org A baby can not get autism from their parent taking acetaminophen/ paracetamol/ Tylenol. Vaccines are safe. Autistic people and their families deserve respectful support. Trustworthy information can be found here: autisticadvocacy.org/2025/09/lead...

#HealingHearts Survivors of abuse often blame themselves. For everything. I remember times thinking something was my fault when I was nowhere near whatever happened. It's hard to learn to love yourself. It's also brave, and so worth it. You're worth it. 💛💚💜 #CSASurvivor #CPTSD #Pinks #ProudBlue

Was just talking to someone about how being incarcerated can mess you up for the rest of your life especially if you were locked up as a kid/teen. Your brain during that time is trying to develop social skills and those environments limit social interaction and confuse your brain damaging it.

Did you know many top researchers are autistic? So that means, technically, Autism causes Tylenol.

Goodnight stars, goodnight air, goodnight noises everywhere-Margaret Wise Brown. Hope you can shut off the noise & get a good night's sleep. Lots to do tomorrow. Hugs from my family 💤💙💤

I need a new stomach. This one is rude. 😭

Although very rare, I was wondering if any of you have Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC)? I'm pretty sure that I do. I'm so glad that I see a really good Gastroenterologist at a research hospital next month. I can't stand the liver/stomach issues anymore. It's been really bad lately.

Advocating for yourself with healthcare providers is empowering. How do you prepare for medical appointments? #RareDisease

In this last year I’ve noticed with my own health insurance everything needs a preauthorization and if they approve it , copay is outrageous or they deny, deny, deny! It’s been worse since the orange orangutan . Because U.S. healthcare system has no one to watch them! Have you had this happen????

Belittling & neglecting ourselves comes easy when it was how we were raised-- & how those responsible for our care "taught" us to relate to ourselves. Self-respect & self-care are gonna feel radical & awkward-- because they're unfamiliar, not because we don't "deserve" them.

💜I have lupus and don’t feel well and on top of that I have to battle my insurance company!💜So many denials and preauthorizations !💜

Latha Valluripalli Soorya, PhD, director of Rush’s AARTS Center, spoke with WGN about how genetics and environment influence autism research, and why findings on acetaminophen use during pregnancy remain mixed.

Living with chronic illness isn’t a life half-lived; it’s an opportunity to redefine what it means to be truly alive, resilient, and whole. #Spoonie

Do not punish yourself for having lacked tools or resources once upon a time-- or now. Self-punishment doesn't make tools or resources magically appear-- but it does trigger emotional flashbacks to being shamed when we struggled.

Rihanna has welcomed her daughter, Rocki Irish Mayers.

My son's employer is amazing, but he doesn't have a set schedule. They text him when they're busy or know they'll be busy most of the time. Or tell him while he's at work the day before. That would drive me nuts. I've been at the same employer years because I set my own schedule.

You are not "weak" for having developed addictive or self destructive coping patterns-- you did what you could w/ the resources you had, to manage your highly sensitive nervous system & survive a sh*t show of a traumagenic environment. No shame. Just do the next right thing.

As a Mom of a son on the Spectrum, I am absolutely disgusted once again by this joke of an Administration! Tylenol DOES NOT cause Autism!!! Quit blaming mothers!

Albert is down for the count!😺😸

Pretty dang nice day in Western Washington. Out back behind my work.

Born from the Sheldricks' dedication in Tsavo, we maintain our hands–on approach as a field–based organisation that lets our conservation work do the talking. Every day our teams make a difference caring for orphans like Nyambeni and Kipekee, rangers removing threats, pilots fighting bushfires.

A new bill, H.R. 5171, would strip gray wolves in Washington and Oregon of ESA protections. Human-caused deaths are already the leading threat. This bill, like others introduced this year, will not solve conflicts. It will only lead to more wolf killings. #ProtectWolves

Anyone have Sinclair or Nexstar in your area? Do contact them and let them know how offensive you find their efforts to suppress free speech.

Donald Trump is attempting to impose his authoritarian rule across the United States. Sending troops to cities against their will is unconstitutional and un-American. Stand up, speak out, and be loud against it.

I find I can’t muster a proper response to either the Tylenol madness or the U.N. appearance. At some point it is just too ridiculous. It would feel insane to offer sane commentary.

Family separation is back under Trump. Just CNN alone found more than 100 American children left stranded after ICE took their parents. Here’s just one story… Meet Isaac

Kimmel is back, but many Americans won’t be able to watch. Two companies — Nexstar and Sinclair — control hundreds of local TV stations and have business deals pending Donald Trump’s approval. They won’t air Kimmel tonight. I’m pressing for answers on potential corruption.

Take a look back at this one from @matthewherper.bsky.social Here is how we know that vaccines do not cause autism www.statnews.com/2025/02/03/v...

🚨My brother who lives in a Sinclair owned station market on the west coast just informed me he can watch Jimmy Kimmel on YouTube with the time delay he can watch it at 9pmPT so EARLIER than if it was on broadcast TV.

It shouldn't have been on you as a kid to figure out how to reach out for help or express your pain in ways that would get appropriately responded to by the adults in your life. It WAS on them to not punish or embarrass you for reaching out or expressing yourself.
