Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. promised to identify the causes of autism but has eliminated parts of his agency actively investigating them and has cut millions in funding for autism research.

Something I love about Dutch and am contemplating adding to my posts are using a diacritical mark over vowels in a word rather than *asterisks* or ALL CAPS.

For years, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has pushed discredited theories linking vaccines to autism.

Now, scientists studying the condition fear he has preconceived notions that will harm the field and taint new funding for research.

Police Should Not Respond to Incidents Involving Autistic People

This op-ed argues that we need to advocate for community-based responses to incidents involving individuals with autism and other disabilities.

If you, like me, are #autistic, then you might be immune to the effects of false or otherwise insidious advertising techniques

According to the article, #neurotypical people are more likely to get distracted by marketing techniques, while us autistics focus on the practical side of a product, rendering those techniques pointless.

Rarkin dreams of working for Monster Containment, but training at Sythe School puts him on the front line of Organised Crime's bold new tactics. Tactics which stir repressed memories & unresolved feelings. To succeed, Rarkin must confront his trauma head on, & break the cycle of violence in his family.

Autistic and other neurodivergent friends, I want to share something I have found really helpful for dealing with overwhelm.

Overwhelm is a state of 'cannot' that can come on suddenly, intensely, and even abruptly, and if you've been masking for some time (your whole life?) it can be a little traumatising to hit the wall like that.

Tara Brach is a clinical psychologist specialising in trauma therapy and a widely recognised and celebrated teacher in the Mahasi (Insight Meditation) tradition of Buddhism, the lineage I practice within.

She developed the RAIN meditation which I am offering as one way of recognising when you are in overwhelm and responding in a self-compassionate way.

RAIN stands for:

1. RECOGNISE what is happening;
2. ALLOW the experience to be there, just as it is;
3. INVESTIGATE with interest and care;
4. NURTURE with self-compassion.

Tara offers a bunch of meditations that step at different paces through the four steps of RAIN on her website:

tarabrach.com/rain/

I really love her teachings — they are enormously warm, wise, and often conveyed with a dorky sense of humour. She knows what she's talking about but she's not wedded to seeming expert.

Quick note about the N here:

In Tara's original formulation the 'N' stood for 'non-attachment,' which is a technical Buddhist term, and while I accept Tara's choice to rephrase it in the language of self-help, I think the original expresses a useful insight.

Overwhelm is something that is happening, not the truth of myself. Right now I cannot, but this has arisen, and it will be here for a while, and then it will subside again, and I will be able to can.

The reminder that all things are impermanent, the encouragement against grasping and attaching to experience in the moment as the truth of the self, can be very reassuring when the cannot feels so, well, overwhelming.

Also, maybe the sense of 'cannot' does express something we might want to take forward in our future sense of self — we may have been trying to mask (perform the way we perceive normies as performing their non-divergent selves), and this may not be sustainable, this may demand too much of us, and it might be more compassionate to look at ways of being our divergent selves in our participation in social and public life.

Is #demon #possession a giant hoax? Did #KathrynKrick just get caught #scamming her audience? Let's explore #Apostle Kathryn Krick's controversial #exorcisms, where she claims to cast out #demons of #autism from two boys and repeatedly uses the same girl in #staged #performances. Did Kathryn Kick just get caught using a #paidactress for multiple exorcism performances (trick also used by #BobLarson)?
