I’m a speech-language pathologist who works in early intervention, and I am so appreciative of the work you and your colleagues put into these reviews. You help me answer questions I field from parents in a more informed way.

Thank you for this; the timing could not be more perfect as my daughter was just diagnosed yesterday and we have so many questions.

Thank you for this newsletter! I feel like I have seen autism become the new "boogeyman" in certain parenting circles and from people on social media - some of them downright scammers and fearmongers trying to convince people that a certain food, supplement, etc. will make their child autistic. The worst part about all this - as you covered in the last section - is the narrative that there is something wrong or undesirable about being autistic. I think we absolutely need to listen to and follow the lead of autistic individuals in celebrating neurodiversity and working toward a world that is more navigable for neurodiverse people.
