Great piece on strength-based parenting, while written for a general audience, I found it very applicable to raising an autistic child (gift link): www.theatlantic.com/family/archi...

My first book We're Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation came out four years ago this month. It simultaneously feels like it came out yesterday and a century ago. I did it in hopes that people would take the needs of #ActuallyAutistic people seriously 1/ www.harpercollins.com/products/wer...

The California National Guard situation is "unprecedented" if you are not versed in the Ghorman Massacre #Andor #knowyourhistory #StarWars

Today’s headlines led by Pope Leo. As a person who looks closely at identify first language — notable to me that WSJ describes him as “Pope from US” instead of as an American Pope.

The Mac Virtual Display is the only killer app so far on Apple Vision Pro. Producing a lighter cheaper version that plugs into the Mac and maintains the resolution seems like a smart way to go: www.uploadvr.com/apple-vision...

There’s no going back and there won’t be Cinderellas anymore. Excellent points on how college basketball has changed: www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

I use my Apple Vision Pro almost daily because the Mac Virtual Display really makes me more productive. That being said, some great ideas here for AVP and also begs the larger question of how it might benefit w/ more thinking of what skuemorphism should be in 3D: www.macworld.com/article/2635...

"The challenge is that in divvying it up, while the federal government will still have a role, once it's not under one umbrella ... you risk that those issues will not be addressed as sufficiently and adequately as they were under the Department of Education," said @nancyayoussef.bsky.social.

Really important read for those of us that care about the autism community by @ericmgarcia.bsky.social . Trump's DEI order goes deeper and further than most realize: www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

M.A.S.K. toys are coming back, courtesy of The Loyal Subjects. Looking as though they are straight reissues without chrome but more detailed accompanying figures. Absolutely all in for this, the same day we saw Missing Link Arcee. We’ll talk about this day for years. 😍

Two thumbs up to Captain America 4! Anthony Mackie and Harrison Ford were great and the DC battle was fun. Hains Point ftw!

Todays headlines across WP, NYT, and WSJ with @nancyayoussef.bsky.social, Gordon and Brett leading WSJ

Devastating roundup of deadly global results of US aid freeze. Limited exceptions are too late "hundreds of senior officials and workers who help distribute American aid had already been fired or put on leave, and many aid efforts remain paralyzed around the world." www.nytimes.com/2025/01/31/w...

Trump blasted the FAA's hiring program that hired people with intellectual disabilities. It's wildly hypocritical because this program existed under his first administration. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

So sad to learn of the passing of Cecile Richards. I first met her when I interviewed to be the founding CTO at Catalist. And had the privilege to get to know her over the next few years when we shared office space with America Votes. She was an inspirational leader: www.nytimes.com/2025/01/20/u...

Excited to see Floreo (@floreovr.bsky.social) featured in this GovTech story on how NYC Autism Charter Schools is leveraging VR to improve the lives of its autistic students: www.govtech.com/education/k-...

An entire story on how to improve the FDA and the reporter didn’t seem to talk to any of the companies being regulated and all the contributions seemed to be focused on more stringent regulations. Uh, ok: www.nytimes.com/2024/12/22/w...

Super depressing. Loved ones are so vulnerable when in this situation. And at the end, nothing criminal and the employees in question haven’t lost their jobs.

Excited to see Samsung and Google back in the XR race and introducing a new OS platform. For those of us on the ground trying to make a business work, the more hardware options and innovation, the better. www.cnet.com/tech/computi...

Trump's presidency includes a number of grifters, most notably many who have promoted misinformation about autism. I wrote about how Trump's presidency represents the apotheosis of toxic theories about autism. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Now this is the sports and community leadership we need! www.espn.com/college-foot...

My contribution to Thanksgiving dinner, saag paneer.

Rare to see that level of clock mismanagement as what we just saw in Bears-Lions. Ouch.

Congrats to our friends at Cortica! They are revolutionizing whole autism care and we are so fortunate to be partnering together on @floreovr’s FDA trial! medcitynews.com/2024/11/cort...

From my better half -- the Biden administration is not moving fast enough on behalf of Ukraine before inauguration: www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

At worst should be 6-3, a merely competent team would be up 7-3 or 10-3 but instead down 3-0. What a dismal season.

My better half (who I am still working on to get over here) on Def Sec nominee Pete Hegseth in WSJ: www.wsj.com/politics/ele...

The Expanse Dragon Tooth Kickstarter has been my all time favorite to support. The Collector’s box, book 3, and extra goodies are awesome. Long live the Rocci!

I agree with much of what people say about Bluesky, less toxic, no bots, etc, but I don't know about others but I just needed a reset to who I follow from 15 years ago.

Netflix clearly has never done live sports before. Ouch.

Nice surprise today to learn that the #Eagles program at last night’s game includes this page on their support for #autism including a kid using Floreo from their Huddle Up event.
