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."

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/…

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:

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…
Great to see this candid discussion with Freddie deBoer on the realities of severe autism and the limitations of the current discourse on mental illness and disability. Thank you @NCSAutismOrg

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.”

Looking forward to the Outlier Conference @OutlierConf - starts tomorrow!
Quick poll of #dataviz peeps—when starting a project, how many of you sketch by hand vs. start in viz tool of choice?
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!

"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

I love seeing the before-and-afters shared so far in this month's #SWDchallenge: revisit a graph you made in the past & show how you'd approach it differently today.
