Current data from the CDC states that autism prevalence is estimated to be about 1 in 36. Many people are wondering why there are so many people who have autism now. In this video, I'll address that question.

In this video, we will go over the report written by the ABAI special task force from their visit to the Judge Rotenberg Center, their recommendation, and the final vote for an official position statement, as well as another related development that has a strong effect on the use of the GED-3 and GED-4. This video is part of a mini-series.

This is the second video in the miniseries JRC, ABAI, & A Reckoning, where we pick up after the online publication of the cease and desist letter and look at the controversy that got more heated in the ABA (applied behavior analysis) community. The Association for Behavior Analysis International chose to continue hosting Judge Rotenberg Center at their 48th Annual Boston Convention, a decision that included employees resigning publicly.

The infamous Judge Rotenberg Center (JRC) has recently sent a cease and desist letter to NeuroClastic, and autistic-run non-profit, accusing them of making false and defamatory statements about them. We're going to look into JRC's accusations and NeuroClastic's response. In later episodes of this mini-series, we will look into the effect this had on not only the autistic community, but the Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) community. #stoptheshock This is episode one of the miniseries "JRC, ABAI, and a Reckoning."

For quite awhile, my feed was filled with advertisements about a lawsuit in which I could be entitled for compensation, claiming that a Johns Hopkins study found that Tylenol use during pregnancy increased the risk for ASD and ADHD by 20%. So, of course, I had to find out how legit this whole thing was, and I've broken it down for you, as well. References: https://rentry.co/axuth MERCH: https://stephanie-bethany-shop.fourthwall.com/

These are my thoughts on why autistic or neurodivergent youth should watch the anime Kimi ni Todoke (From Me to You) from my perspective as an autistic adult who watched it as a youth and re-watched recently. The anime is currently available on Netflix and apparently there is a live adaptation version coming out by Netflix as well.
