Yes, and they're scapegoating autistics in the process, just like this administration has been scapegoating trans people.
It wouldn't be the first time.

Thanks, Andrea!
It depends on the time of year for me. Summer stretches out the day, and winter compresses it.
Thanks, Sarah! Hugs and high fives right back at ya!
Thanks, Jess!
I think it's weird, people assuming that Sanderson would agree to finish the series at this place in his career. He has so many of his own books planned that I don't think anything would tempt him to take the job. He only finished WoT because Jordan was dead, and he was a huge fan.
I wish I could have been there!
That's horrible. And horribly lazy. You'd think that professors would know research is already showing that relying on AI is bad for our brains.
Yes!
Thanks, Janet!
And congrats on the new position!
Aw, I love this.
So cute!
Thanks, Jodi! Love ya!
Thank you!
Thanks, Ramya!
Thanks, Brian!
Thanks, Denise!
Thanks, Mel!
Yes, we celebrated, and it's been a good summer for us. I hope it's been a good one for you and your family too. My inbox is always open if you need another pair of eyes. Miss you!
Same.
Thanks! Love you both!
Thanks, Shirley! I hope all is well on your end.
Thanks so much, Kim-Hoa! I hope everything is going well for you.
I'm thrilled to announce that I've signed with Tasneem Motala @belcastroagency.bsky.social. I don't think I could ask for a literary agent more aligned with my values, goals, challenges, and sense of humor. I'm looking forward to working with her. @seraphecda.bsky.social
Yes.
The NPS also has a 10:1 ROI. That's not wasteful spending.
