Some pics from the trip Italy/Switzerland. We stayed in a small village at the top of a mountain in the Swiss Alps. The ride up the mountain was scary and took 20mins.

Britt shopping w/support at Fresh Market. The staff there all know her. They’ve seen her at her best and also on very challenging days where there was a dose of autism drama in the middle of the fancy market. #Autistic #Nonverbal

Yesterday we went to watch the Circle of Light and the MOSI museum #Rumi. An immersive experience with a round screen. It was mesmerizing! Britt did take a little nap during the show. #Autism #Autistic #nonverbal #realautism

From the #Autism Tribune:
In #France, "... what used to be a very low level of incidence – 2.1 per 1,000 children (0.21% or 1 in 500) in 2003 – had risen to 13.5 per 1,000 (1.35% or 1 in 74) in 2024. This is an increase of more than 500% in just 20 years."

After a lot of thought, I decided to move from the beach after 23yrs. Two evacuations & no electric for 11 days has taken a toll on my emotional health. I’m getting too old for this. Scrambling to find a place for Brittany that has electric, no hotels available within 100mi, +++ . Too much at this time in my life. I’m going to regroup & pivot to my next chapter.

SpaceX engineers are trying to deliver Starlink terminals & supplies to devastated areas in North Carolina right now and @FEMA is both failing to help AND won’t let others help. This is unconscionable!!
They just took this video a few hours ago, where you can see the level of devastation: roads, houses, electricity, water supply and ground Internet connections completely destroyed.
@FEMA wouldn’t let them land to deliver critical supplies … my blood is boiling …

RFK: The autism rate in 1960 was between 1 in 1,500 and 1 in 10,000. Today it’s 1 in every 34 kids.
Why is no one investigating this?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Important context:
Diagnoses of mental illnesses were notoriously difficult in the 50s-60s. Further, once “different” diagnoses (i.e. Asperger’s) were reclassified into ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) in 1994 with the DSM-5 meaning many more people now qualified as autistic.

Wow! Tom Brady may have just delivered the greatest quote I’ve ever heard.
“To be successful at anything, the truth is you don’t have to be special. You just have to be what most people aren’t: consistent, determined and willing to work for it.”

DR. PETER MCCULLOUGH: “Autism was one in 10,000 when I was a kid. It’s now one in 36.”
The rise in autism “appears to be associated with the expanding childhood vaccine schedule,” Dr. McCullough explained.
In the 1960s, kids got three shots. “Now, a child today faces 108 shots.”
“At one of the visits between age one and two, there’s 13 shots administered altogether in children. And it’s been well demonstrated that if a child gets sick with a big round of shots, and they have a seizure, there’s about a 40% chance that the brain is injured, and they develop autism.”

The CDC Doesn’t Want You to Hear This Conversation
KENNEDY: “The cost of autism is now a trillion dollars a year. My generation, I’m 70, you’re 60.”
BECK: “I didn’t know anybody with autism.”
KENNEDY: “No, we knew nobody when we were a kid.”
BECK: “I didn’t know anybody with peanut allergies.”
KENNEDY: “No. I had eleven siblings [and] 70 cousins — nobody with a peanut allergy. Why do five of my seven kids have allergies? The autism rate in my generation today, right now, 2024, One in 10,000 70-year-old men have autism. In my kid’s generation, it’s One in every 34 kids. One in every 22 boys, according to CDC. Nobody’s talking about this? These are bankrupting our country. It’s a trillion dollars a year just for autism... Nobody’s talking about why is this happening?”
