Cancel culture in effect who cares what some individual thinks about the Covid vaccine it’s the organization itself that matters.

| Why, in scientific research, does autism get so much more attention than intellectual disability? I suspect it's because intellectual disability is something that has been known to exist for a very long time.

| What your referring to may mean something to the % of those at the upper end of the functioning tree, but autism is a spectrum of impairment and no fig leaf can cover up the issues faced by those most disabled. For that reason autism will always be anchored to a disorder which will prompt genetic r... |

| ASAN is in Washington, DC, not New York. Hopefully if/when enough organizations are created that can help us on various practical levels, and if/when accommodations for autistic people become more commonplace, then fewer of us will desire a total "cure" of autism per se , and then medical... |

| I personally think autism is a simple disorder to understand. It's not a disorder where capable NT's leave a normal life but have an additional mental health problem. Autism is a disorder that goes to the foundations of someone's development and starts very young. It's actually a disorder with a la... |

| The problem is not functionning labels or hf autism, its that the 1940`s label and diagnosis of autism itself has become outdated & useless. Functioning ability is so broad that its impossible to identify needs. They have to attach multi letter soup add on`s like adhd or ID that is a gift to the... |

| It would be very strange if there were no microbiology labs in Ukraine! However, there is a considerable difference between microbial research and biological weapon manufacturing. It is uncontroversial that there are microbial research labs in Ukraine: https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/exclusive... |
