NEW WHO guidance on disability during #COVID19. Populations with #disability may be impacted more significantly by #coronavirus. This can be mitigated if simple actions & protective measures are taken
👉 bit.ly/33ZDtKo Disability considerations during the COVID-19 outbreak.
People with #disability may be at greater risk of contracting #COVID19 because:
• Physical barriers to use basic hygiene facilities
• Need to touch things
• Difficulty in enacting social distancing
• Barriers to accessing public health & #coronavirus information People with disability may be at greater risk of contracting COVID-19 because:<br /> • Physical barriers to use basic hygiene facilities<br /> • Need to touch things<br /> • Difficulty in enacting social distancing<br /> • Barriers to accessing public health and coronavirus information
Depending on their health condition, people with #disability may have risks of developing more severe cases of #coronavirus because #COVID19 exacerbates existing health conditions, particularly related to respiratory functions, immune system, heart disease or diabetes.

Autism and anxiety - a thread.

If I can face it. Let's go. /1

#autism #anxiety
This could quite easily be summed up as 'autism and anxiety are so commonly matched as to be almost indistinguishable', but I'd quite like to pick it apart based on my experience of course. /2 #autism
For me, the overriding experience of autism at the moment is anxiety. Anxiety about work, anxiety about parenting, anxiety about stress, anxiety about everything. But it wasn't always like this. /3 #autism

Today I want to talk about how ‘Autism Warrior Parents’ Harm Autistic Kids. These thoughts are from an evergreen article I wrote for the dearly departed Establishment: medium.com/the-establishm…

This is going to be a thread.

#autism #parenting #Neurodiversity 1/
Parenting approaches differ, but mostly, everything we consider “good parenting” fulfills two basic needs: It makes children feel safe, and it makes them feel loved. Parents and non-parents alike tend to scorn any parenting approach that doesn’t meet these goals. #autism 2/
…That is, unless the kids in question are #autistic—in which case parents are too often encouraged to pursue approaches that traumatize & alienate their kids. I call these types “Autism Warrior Parents,” & people caring for autistic kids can learn a lot from their mistakes. 3/

Autism rates in the U.S. have reached epidemic proportions. One in 36 boys now has some form of autism. Autism rates have increased exponentially since the increase in the vaccine schedule set by the CDC.
The increase in the number of childhood vaccines coincides with the 1986 ruling, exempting vaccine manufacturers from liability. If we have increased the number of vaccines a child receives, we have, in turn, increased the number of toxins a child is exposed to.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
