Today is #WorldAutismAwarenessDay - Please support autism services & programs in your local community. I'm a proud father of a wonderful daughter who also happens to have autism - “Hurricane Sandy Was A Great Day! — People Don’t Get Autism, Families Do" link.medium.com/wnt8yDfLyV
Support services for those with autism & their families are essential, particularly in communities lacking public supports or facing government cuts. Check out groups & programs like @NEXTforAUTISM and please consider supporting their efforts nextforautism.org/about/
also, Amazon's @amazonsmile offers a great way to support autism charities (and any other charity) with no cost to customers. Check out their program here and how they donate on your behalf when you make purchases. amazon.com/gp/help/custom…

Question for AG Barr: if there is no evidence of Trump campaign “knowingly” coordinating with Russia, then why did candidate Trump “knowingly” and specifically call out to Russia for Clinton emails? How did he know to ask Russia? google.com/amp/s/www.pbs.…
This is why President Trump needed to be interviewed in person. How did he know to ask Russia? His team knew Russia had emails, Russia had “dirt”, Trump Tower meeting under This auspices...
If President Trump or his team had sent an email saying “Russia if you have those emails”, would that be “knowingly” coordinating? I think so, if he does it on stage, he is doing it “knowingly” as well. No difference

My last hopes that Barr will do the right thing seem to be fading. This could however....be a preemptive investigation to ward off GOP pressure & demonstrate investigation was done properly.
I don’t have confidence in Barr’s motives, but having worked in government, when a conspiracy is being levied to rally a political base, sometimes best way to defuse the conspiracy is to preempt it.

Mar-a-Lago is and has been a predictable disaster for counterintelligence. Costs to taxpayers, $ and secrets, for President Trump to reinforce his business interests are obscene. Check out the quotes in this article nytimes.com/2019/04/03/us/… via ⁦@nytimes⁩
Secret Service wanting no part of this nonsense.
Free & improved security system on the backs of taxpayers. Would like to see a full accounting of all costs for Trump properties.

#Autism, diagnosis, self-diagnosis, services: Quick thread.
I've seen a few questions around this on Twitter in the last few days.
So, here are some quick thoughts, from a UK perspective. I can't speak for situations in other countries. /
Firstly, in the UK it is often near-impossible to get a formal diagnosis. No professionals available, no funding, GPs who don't understand autism and don't refer on, misdiagnosis as other things. So that is a very major obstacle. /
Second, we have so many misunderstandings about what autism 'looks like'. If you're not male, young, white, a computer whizz or needing extensive support, there will be extra obstacles to overcome from some diagnostic professionals. And more misdiagnoses as a result of those/
