As Americans, we deserve to hear Donald Trump address this and I hope reporters will put him on record. politicalwire.com/2024/07/24/tru…

There are few things on this planet as magical as watching “couldn’t care less” Parisians be joyously amazed and impressed. (Paris, France) #OlympicGames #olympics

A great piece by Eric Michael Garcia: msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-…

🎉Wow.🎉 That was one of the most powerful speeches I have ever seen. Optimism. Hope. Motivation. 🇺🇸AMERICA🇺🇸 Kamala Harris Let’s Go!! 🥥🌴

What an utter disaster. This includes the names of every operative hired in the last two years. Lives are at risk. Some may die. While our current President Donald J. Trump bears responsibility, it would be good to know if @ElonMusk and his cohort were involved. nytimes.com/2025/02/05/us/…

Say howdy if you’re at SXSW EDU in Austin. I’ll be speaking at 4:00pm Central today in room 10AB (third floor) on a panel about inclusive education and AI.

Less than two days later, I’m sad to say that this piece is already outdated. The amount of damage that HHS Secretary Kennedy is inflicting on autistic people and our families is abhorrent. thinkingautismguide.com/2025/04/robert…

While RFK Jr. Made his remarks saying autistic life is a tragedy that destroys families, I sat right in front of him and made it a point to let him know he was wrong. My latest for ⁦MSNBC⁩ msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-…

His ignorance of the science is one thing. But the revulsion, fear, and contempt that Secretary Kennedy showed autistic and disabled people on Wednesday was grotesque. He—and the country—would be better off if he unpacked those feelings in therapy, not at an HHS press conference.

But your agenda is on Signal. 🤷‍♂️

Appreciated the research presented this morning at #INSAR2025 (by Drexel University/Michigan State University) on training mental health providers to recognize and reduce the barriers THEY THEMSELVES may create when working with disabled and autistic communities.

At #INSAR2025, @DrexelAutism is presenting research on how to effectively adapt cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for autistic youth. The research team is neurodiverse—including autistic researchers—and it shows in the outstanding quality of their study design.

At breakfast one morning, we heard someone yell for a doctor. Several of our campmates leapt up and rushed to the camp across the street, where they helped deliver a healthy baby girl. sltrib.com/news/2025/08/3…

I’ve witnessed far more death and violence than most I know. Empathy, Empathy, Empathy, Empathy is the only truly effective strategy to combat ideas with which we don’t agree.
