The highest compliment from someone who disagrees with you is not “You were right.” It’s “You made me think.” Good arguments help us recognize complexity where we once saw simplicity. The ultimate purpose of debate is not to produce consensus. It’s to promote critical thinking.

Because like most psychological diagnoses that are primarily based on observed social behaviors, what becomes relevant in identification are the ways other people are made uncomfortable by that behavior. There's no interest in the internal lives of Autistic people as diagnostically relevant.

At #INSAR2025, Alison Singer of @autismsciencefd.bsky.social publicly praised RFK Jr. for "shining a bright light" on high support autistics. No. RFK Jr. is going to wreak destruction in the lives of autistic people and families. We either oppose him wholly, or we will all suffer the consequences.

A shoutout to the gender diversity panel at #INSAR2025 who attended despite safety concerns about international travel for transgender+ people. We at the Autism Community Issues and Experiences were impressed by your submission and are happy you delivered a strong panel on important autism research.
