Trump is only the latest charlatan to use the anti-vaccine community

Why I don’t like “Happy Mother’s Day: Mothers Lie”
The essay is structured as “you were pregnant. You had hopes and dreams. Then you got a shock–your kid wasn’t what you hoped for.” Why do we keep telling parents that story? The only reason there is a shock is because we don’t remind parents that disability is real. And that the dream lives on–having […]

An autism parent’s gratitude to the Kennedys for speaking out
Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, Joseph P. Kennedy II, Meave Kennedy McKean: thank you. We in the disability community owe much to the Kennedy family. We don’t forget the gains in special education and other areas that the Kennedy family championed for us. With that in mind, it’s been especially hard to watch Robert Kennedy Jr. spread […]

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.
