From #INSAR2026 Scientific Chair Christine Nordahl: "Talking to autistic people and their families has really changed how I view autism research. Not just people who can advocate for themselves, but also families of children with profound autism." ow.ly/scNv50Z5RNt

This World Autism Day, we are shining a light on autistic people who require lifetime, 24/7 care. Did you know that only 6% of clinical autism research includes them? We are working to change that. Learn more: profoundautism.org/research/… #profoundautism

Today is World Autism Day. In 2023, the CDC reported that 26.7% of people with autism have profound autism. Its most recent report did not track this data. That gap matters. Ask Congress to ensure it is tracked: votervoice.net/ProfoundAutis… #profoundautism

Bonkers DumDum Takes Over the CDC. In a scandalous new low point for American science and public health, the CDC revises its website to state that childhood vaccines may cause autism. jillescher.substack.com/p/bo…

Everyone should be “pissed off” about the colossal increases in autism, says @JillEscher of @NCSAutismOrg. While she appreciates the “sense of urgency” RFK Jr. brings to this issue, she also cautions, “Vaccines don't cause autism. . . and declining rates of vaccination in our children really pose a tremendous risk to our public health.” Read her piece, “Trump, RFK, and the Autism Dilemma”: thefp.pub/4eseBxu

Quick poll of #dataviz peeps—when starting a project, how many of you sketch by hand vs. start in viz tool of choice?
Thanks Cole Knaflic @storywithdata for fielding my questions about #dataviz and the #SWDcommunity!
At what point did you start focusing on the visual design aspects of your graphs? How much do you draw in your work? What led you to start the #SWDcommunity? I answer these questions & more posed by Jen @rashdesign in her latest post—check it out! rashdesign.com/blog/2021/1/3…

"In the new one, I simplified, used a more clear indication of projected data, and flipped the color to highlight the point of emphasis." Great redesign, Jen! @rashdesign
