Kaylee’s dad just turned the podium to look #BryanKohberger in the eyes as he delivers his victim impact statement. What a boss move 😧
Froot Loops is finally following its nose — toward common sense. Thanks to the many parents who spoke out and pressured @KelloggsUS to remove harmful food dyes from its products. I urge more companies to step up and join the movement to Make America Healthy Again.
Psychiatry errs because it fails to grasp how incredibly well-designed the human mind really is. Depression, anxiety, even psychosis are signals that carry invaluable information about what’s going wrong in life - yet we idiotically treat them as “symptoms” to be “managed.”

.@PepsiCo just announced it will eliminate artificial colors and flavors from Lay’s and Tostitos by year’s end—and expand the use of avocado and olive oil in place of canola and soybean oil. I urge every other food company to follow their lead and join the movement to Make…

If an environmental factor causes a disruption in genes, resulting in a disease or condition, should it be considered environmental or genetic in nature?
Glad to see @WelchsFruitSnck taking action to remove synthetic dyes from their products. I urge other companies to step up and help us Make America Healthy Again.

Everyone says they would do anything for their child. Doing anything for your child does not always look the way you think it does, though. Sometimes doing anything for your child means years upon years upon decades of advocating for them in the face of opposition or…
I love when I interrupt and she turns to me, smiles and says “Mama” 💚
Because of all of million different direct and indirect ways people block the advancement of medical research into #autism, I have watched my precious baby’s childhood pass us by entrenched deep into profound autism. Most importantly, this has taken so much from her. It has also…

What is a question that is fundamental to autism, that hasn’t been answered, but which is rarely asked?
Let’s hold each other up! This parent is home for the summer with three autistic kids. 💚 his post or comment to lift him up. Make him feel seen.
I have three autistic kids, every day without them going to school is a challenge!
As autism parents, we suppress a lot of things. For me, not breathing air into all the ugly details helps me to keep going. I can’t let the weight of it drag me down. So I don’t take it lightly when someone shames me for speaking the reality of profound autism when it matters.…
We went to the rodeo, last night. This is the picture that I posted on social media, along with one of our youngest daughter riding the mechanical bull. The caption read, “Fun times at the rodeo before the skies opened up on us.” Positive? Yes. Realistic? No. THIS is what I…
