I am legitimately so sorry. I was not trying to mislead. I am legitimately embarrassed and humiliated. I never wanted to do anything malicious. I am so apologetic. I should have double-checked the dates.
We are taking the article down. I cannot apologize enough. I should have double-checked triple-checked dates.
I am mortified and legitimately embarrassed. I want to thank @JeremyRedfernFL for flagging. And apologize to Governor DeSantis and Justice Thomas. This is a horrible error on my part.
The story is in the process of being retracted. I am just embarrassed as hell. Words cannot describe how mortified I am. I try to be honest in my work. I don't try to do gotcha journalism. I always hated that. I can never apologize enough.

A lot of people are tweeting about Jack Black supporting Autism Speaks. Rather than digging at Jack Black for supporting it, I think it's important to explain WHY Autism Speaks has become so prominent and why so many autistic people find it dispiriting.
Given, I've written a book about this and went a bit into Autism Speaks's history, so I kind of know what I'm talking about. It's important to remember that Bob Wright, the former head of NBC Universal, after the his grandson was diagnosed as autistic. 2/

As @jpitney writes in his book the Politics of Autism, parent lobbying was not that lucrative, even after movies like Rain Man increased autism's presence in the public consciousness. 3/

Galatians 5:13 specifically says "For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another."
I keep my faith quiet on here because I am still a work in progress. I fail constantly. I also don't want people to use my sins as an argument against the Gospel. But I always believed that while Jesus's dying for my sins saved me, it compels me to do good in the world.
I should also say, learning about Islam, Buddhism, Judaism and yes, from atheist thinkers all made me a better Christian and forced to examine why I believe what I believe.

As an #ActuallyAutistic person, I think about how to deal with positive change. I was talking with @autienelle about how writing a book has changed my life for the better. But it also upended my life. I don’t know how to talk about it without sounding ungrateful.
I am eternally grateful for the opportunity to do this and anytime I hear from people who reach out and read the book and say it helped, it makes my week. I am also more financially secure than I’ve ever been in my lifetime. At the same time, my life is very different now.
I love getting to travel the country, but I also get incredibly tired. I haven’t had a proper vacation in years and keep a frenetic schedule since I was adamant that I wouldn’t quit my day job as soon as I published this thing.

President Biden announcing the end of the pandemic purely for political reasons, combined with the failure of to pass SSI reform AND the death of home and commmunity-based services spending, it's pretty fair to say people with disabilites won't see anything change post-Covid-19.
Some people ripped me when I said that home care was dead earlier this year, but it was dead as soon as Manchin killed Build Back Better and Democrats slashed it long before BBB died. Policy changes necessitate political moments. Covid was the only time this could pass.
The big problem was Republicans likely got cold feet on the price tag on SSI reform and no Democrats were willing to make home care their line in the sand on Build Back Better, so it got slashed and cut little by little.

I didn’t have Doc Rivers decides to pull a Ted Cruz in my NBA predictions this year
FWIW, what a man likes is his own personal business, so no kink shaming. Not my issue. I am just surprised he did it on Twitter.
The Sixers need to acquire Durant so that Doc learns how to make an alt so he can browse at whatever makes him happy on his own time.
