Did you know there’s a sound the brain responds to more positively than almost anything else? This timeless practice carries remarkable benefits for the mind. And once you start listening consistently, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without the calm and clarity it brings 👇

Grateful to @harvardcrimeson for their thoughtful coverage of my appointment as IACC Chair. This moment is about refocusing federal autism policy on unmet needs, scientific rigor, and real-world outcomes for autistic people and their families. thecrimson.com/article/2026/…

I am honored to serve as the new Chair of the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee. Our members bring extraordinary experience and leadership—founding advocacy organizations, advancing legislation, championing inclusion, fighting for special education access, providing medical care, and training the next generation of autism providers. This term also marks a milestone: for the first time since the IACC’s creation in 2000, the committee includes two non-speaking adults with autism who type to communicate. Because so many of our members have deep lived experience with autism, we bring both passion and urgency to the work ahead—focused on improving prevention, care, and outcomes while maintaining public trust and scientific integrity. As Chair, I am committed to active outreach and broad public input through open meetings, listening sessions, and stakeholder engagement—including from those who have leveled early, callous criticisms that diminish the enormous achievements of our members. Our affected children and adults deserve apolitical, cooperative engagement to advance progress. hhs.gov/press-room/hhs-kenne…

AARON SIRI: “What group can you talk about in America the way they talk about people who don't vaccinate? … Any minority, any religious, any ethnic group … ‘Don't treat them. Let them die. They deserve it.’ Who can you talk about like that?”

Yes @RetsefL. Access to education is foundational for long-term health & economic stability. Conditioning school attendance on Hep B vaccine compliance is unjust & risks deepening inequity. It does nothing to protect health in the school setting.

Cheryl Hines on Her Appearance on The View “I'm confused by people attacking the parents who say, my child is different since they received the vaccine … My child was hitting milestones. Then they got the vaccine, and everything changed. Why are we yelling at those parents?”

I voted for this. msnbc.com/msnbc/news/rfk-jr-…

Now he is an expert on autism, yet didn't address it one time in 8 years. Pathetic snake.

I want to hear from parents who have children that are profoundly autistic. Do you think autism is something to be celebrated? Do you think there is no need for them to be “cured?” Graphics like this love to pop up to discourage inquiry into the cause of autism, so I want to hear from you. Feel free to message me privately if you want your comment to remain anonymous.

So many people on X are asking angrily how long have we known about Tylenol and autism. I did a search of my own Facebook history and I have a post going back to 2009 about the Tylenol problem. Kim Mack Rosenberg tells me that when she took her son to one of his first autism doctors in 2004 when he told her no more Tylenol. Here is @AmerAcadPeds yesterday still lying to defend their decades long malpractice.

Scott Gottlieb steps into the 21st century understanding of autism. They have never wanted to admit that autism is autoimmune because that would be evidence that it is caused by this disruption in the immune system caused by vaccines. He knows the jig is up and he is slowly backing into a position that is congruent with most autism being a vaccine injury.
