“There’s something going on in the online autism world, and it’s not healthy.”
We started a podcast with the deliberate aim of talking to a range of voices. We had had enough of the polarisation and mudslinging of social media. We went to significant effort to seek out different perspectives. Our criterion was not whether they agreed with us, but whether

@12PursueTruth There is definitely an incentive issue in parts of the system, and that’s something people don’t talk about enough. Services, funding streams, and professional practices often end up tied to specific diagnoses. Since I have a Phd in behavior analysis, I was often asked to oversee

Uta Frith, renowned autism researcher, gives an interview to the TES about autism – and the internet goes wild. We’re told that what she said will put back progress 40 years, that she knows nothing about autism, that she lacks critical thinking and that her words will harm

Autism: “The spectrum has become so accommodating that I fear that it has now been stretched so far that it has become meaningless and is no longer useful as a medical diagnosis.” Problem is that psychologists, and increasingly a flood of master’s level therapists have come to

This is an example of a vaginoplasty that has been performed on effeminate boys like Jazz Jennings. Except due to puberty blockers, Jazz didn’t have enough penile tissue so they had to take a graft from his abdominal lining. Boys as young as 16 have undergone this surgery. 🧵

This is a must-watch exchange. Rep. Michael Cloud (R) completely dismantles a Democratic pastor over what the Bible actually teaches about charitable giving. When asked about the parable that comes before the verse she references, she has no idea what he’s talking about.

My own state psychological association lost their collective minds over this issue in 2020. They threw out all ethical standards related to assessment and informed consent, and no one could question it.
NEW: “I’ve been covering this controversy for about a decade from a left-of-center perspective, and I’ve found that anyone who questions these treatments, even mildly, is invariably accused of bigotry.” 🧵on @jessesingal’s important new piece in the New York Times this morning.

Sage’s story is shocking, heartbreaking, and reveals the worst of humanity. But here she is smiling with her mother and attorney, ready to be a guest of the US president. Even in the darkest stories, God’s light still shines, reminding us that He is able to bring healing and
Honored to stand alongside my courageous client Michelle Blair and her daughter Sage in DC today as they prepare to join the President as special guests at the State of the Union. For the second consecutive year, a CPRC family will be spotlighted before the nation. Michelle's

This graphic published by The Smithsonian back in July 2020 is one of the funniest examples of Horseshoe Theory in action. When you become so 'woke' that you end up becoming white supremacists. 😂

If your child becomes a reader, about 80% of the educational job is already done. That's our honest assessment, based on many of us working in education for over three decades. Everything else is secondary. Most parents think science education is important. Yes, it is. But if you

This is my lane of expertise so let me help you translate what AOC is saying here: It’s Marxism. She claims that the foundation of Western culture is “thin” and that culture is really nothing more than a perpetual state of evolution in response to material causes. Your

Love it! 🦁🇺🇸 your beloved Hatecraft terms are now worthless. We mastered that during antivaxxer mass-mania in 2021. Remember that? 🎬😵💫🌊 The DNC's favorite fake conservative toy The Lincoln Project made this gem. Liberals loved it! Fed all the priors. https://t.co/iL047U3oEk

@FCC The NFL and NBC need to be investigated for breaking 18 U.S.C. § 1464 outlawing sexually explicit content on broadcast media. The lyrics of some of the material performed were of a decidedly explicit nature. Performing in Spanish is not an exception to the law.

8/ I would like to drop the class. But I won’t - not for myself, not for the professor - but for the guys who told me they’re glad I’m there, and who are afraid to speak up on their own.

This is the other father on our lawsuit, Lee V. Poudre School District. This family is more private. They’re ready for this whole ordeal to be over. They overcame SO much and are still working through the aftermath of what our school district did to their child. They almost lost
