There is so much one could write about the impact that Mel had on the autism communities and the disability communities and humanity in general. I will not express the sadness I feel, but I want to write about two areas […]

Lessons for the Day of Remembrance in the COVID19 era
Let me put this more direct: Everyone is stressed right now. If you think you are at your own limits, find someone to take over. Call family. Call social services. Call someone. Please. It’s April. For some it’s “autism awareness month”. For others, we remember autistics and other people with disabilities who have been killed […]

But, politicians are politicians and they can’t seem to “waste a good crisis” (as the saying goes). From the Washington Post: The GOP just smuggled another awful provision into the stimulus According to […]

What “flattening the curve” means to my family
We hear a lot about “flattening the curve” these days. Here’s what this means to me (click to enlarge): If hospitals are overwhelmed, my kid will not be high priority. My kid is disabled. If there are a limited number of ICU beds, for example, my kid very likely won’t get one. So, thank you […]

More advice for the vaccine-skeptic community: just lie low right now.
I just finished writing my previous article a few minutes ago and I thought I’d check out my go-to site for bad information about health and autism:the age of autism blog. Here’s the thing–right now people are focused on health and infectious diseases. And, guess what, your unhelpful (read–damaging, you case harm, people die because […]

It’s amusing and interesting to see people so concerned about protecting Wakefield, yet those same people don’t seem to mind that Jenny McCarthy’s son never had acutal autism. He has landau kleffner syndome.
Harry,
I’ve seen that speculated, even in the scientific literature by an expert, but have not seen it confirmed.
Harry, as Sullivan states I don’t know those claim has ever been confirmed so I think some benefit of doubt should be given that it is in fact autism. What concerns me more about Jenny is that she does not seem to openly talk about the intensive ABA her son did.
