We stand with our trans community members & loved ones.
Also, remember that “People who are transgender or nonbinary are more likely to be autistic.”
So—if you are trans—not only are you not alone but you are MORE not alone in the autistic community.

Transgender and nonbinary people are up to six times more likely to have autism
Transgender and nonbinary people are up to six times more likely to also have autism. This intersection has researchers trying to understand the connection and how society views these identities.

Literal n@zi shit.
🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Trump says that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will investigate the discredited link between autism and vaccines. He's talked about this before. So it's time for a thread that explains how Trump got red-pilled on autism and vaccines. Buckle up. 1/

Trump says RFK Jr. will investigate the discredited link between vaccines and autism: ‘Somebody has to find out’

In our book we urge faculty to tell their students that you feel they belong AND do the work to show that care. You never know who needs to hear it. Similarly, if you know someone whose work revolves around equity in higher ed, feel free to pull them aside and tell them they are valued.
