Yet another inside-out autism research headline! This time it's
"Increased prevalence of autism in the children of fibromyalgia patients," when fibromyalgia is a common co-occurring condition for autistic people, so those autistic kids' parents are likely autistic too.

DO BETTER AUTISM RESEARCHERS!

Ask people what would make them comfortable -- do those things.
Ask people what stresses them out -- don't do those things.

This should not be a radical way of delivering healthcare.

Medicare, as of today, will no longer cover telehealth visits.

I can’t imagine a bigger slap in the face to our patients.

We found a link between SARS-CoV-2 reinfection & #longCOVID, & a post-pandemic rise in thrombotic events across all populations, regardless of vaccination or prior infection. Findings support continued COVID diagnosis in suspected cases & mask use by healthcare workers treating respiratory patients

What does a neuroinclusive healthcare office look like?

Whatever it needs to look like to meet patients’ needs. ‘One size fits all’ does not work for all.

Most doctors were never taught how Autistic and ADHD patients' physiology works.
That’s why so many patients are told their symptoms are “anxiety" and are told to lose weight, move more, and other misguided advice. Meanwhile, their neuroimmune systems rage on: allbrainsbelong.org/all-the-things

Turns out that "Ableism is greater in the medical profession than in wider society," as "a lack of disability and neurodiversity awareness, coupled with discrimination & stigma, can significantly impact disabled doctors' lives and careers." New research:

Medical profession 'more ableist' than wider society

Interim results from a BMA survey, of more than 800 disabled and neurodivergent doctors and medical students, shows that a lack of support has driven 53% of respondents...

Medicare stops covering telemedicine in 3 weeks, and nobody's talking about this.

A patient said (shared with permission): "The opportunity to be heard and seen by other people that know what you go through, these connections are very healing. There's something kind of magical about that."

That's what healthcare should feel like. Healthcare is community.

Autistic & ADHD adults often live with a constellation of intertwined medical problems, including dysautonomia, MCAS, ME/CFS, hypermobility, and more. The healthcare system fragments the body into pieces. We treat it as one connected story. Because it is.

Plain Language is really important to ASAN and our community. Learn about what Plain Language is and why it matters in this post!

We want to make more of our social media Plain Language. It is important for our posts to be accessible to more people!

Light blue textured background. Large dark blue text reads: Why is Plain Language important? Black text reads: People with disabilities should have equal access to information
You can write about any topic in Plain Language. You can even write about topics that are very technical or complex. All writing should be cognitively accessible or have a cognitively accessible version. But most people write in ways that are not cognitively accessible. They might not understand why Plain Language matters. It is important for more people to write in Plain Language. Plain Language writing is really important for topics that affect disabled people!
Remember: nothing about us, without us!

Light blue textured background. Large dark blue text reads: What does Plain Language look like? Black text reads: These are some of the parts of Plain Language writing:
Have shorter sentences & paragraphs.
Use simpler words.
Define important, complex words.
Use examples to help readers understand ideas.
Avoid info that isn’t important.
Use clear & straightforward language.
Use active voice instead of passive voice. For example, “she called her doctor” instead of “the doctor was called.”

PSA: Neurodivergence and hypermobility each are associated with increased risk of complications from COVID, including Long COVID, related to underlying neuroimmune differences: allbrainsbelong.org/all-the-things. There are so many people who have no idea they fall into a high risk group.

I want y’all to not be sick constantly.

Why is that controversial?

Kelly @broadwaybabyto.bsky.social · May 16

People continue to act like disabled & covid caution folks want to return to lockdowns. We don’t.

We want clean air in public spaces. Paid time off. Better access to testing. Free respirators and mandatory masking in healthcare.

Those steps would drastically reduce spread.

I am a patient care specialist in an internal medicine/geriatric office. We are a small practice, with one doctor.

We still require masking at all times in the office…. My Medical Assistant has never had covid. We have never spread covid.

Just a thought.

Thank you so much for your work. I’m a primary care physician with ME/CFS, POTS, MCAS, etc with a nonprofit practice full of patients with the same. I discovered your podcast a few weeks ago and am rapidly devouring your archives and learning so much. Thank you for your labor!

#AutismAcceptanceMonth starts tomorrow. Please don't give to Autism Speaks; their $$ rarely supports autistic people/families, and their 'awareness' work portrays autistic people as burdens, not humans. From @autisticadvocacy.org, a good org to support instead.

Before You Donate to Autism Speaks, Consider the Facts

Very little money donated to Autism Speaks goes toward helping autistic people and families.
