Going against the gut: Q&A with Kevin Mitchell A new review of 15 years of studies on the connection between the microbiome and autism reveals widespread statistical and conceptual errors.

We've always been skeptical about autism-gut microbiome claims. A new survey of 30 studies explored the "connection," and, after "accounting for statistical, technical and conceptual flaws, the team reached a clear conclusion: 'There’s nothing there.'"

Could it be restrictive eating patterns for some that maybe show a difference?

School for NDs is just failing an assignment because you didn't follow the One True Way of Taking Notes but your understanding of the material is impeccable and the final product is also fine. You just didn't Do What the Teacher Said.

The true lesson of Halloween is that life is masks all the way down.

Video Captures What Led to Tasha Grant’s Restraint Death Tasha Grant told a deputy and hospital staff 23 times that she could not breathe. Instead of an evaluation, she got handcuffs and skepticism.

Attorneys representing Grant’s estate condemned the “tragic and completely unnecessary” death in a statement.

Grant was experiencing “a mental health crisis but rather than treat her with compassion and professionalism, officers physically restrained her ultimately causing” her death, they said.

Autistic people get a bad rap for universally lacking empathy (some of us do identify as experiencing low empathy - many do not) but the truth is most people do not, on a day to day basis, truly empathize with people who are fundamentally different from them.
