Earth to @ElonMusk: Asperger s Went The Way of Pluto
We finally got a bit of Autism Awareness Month nonsense, 8 days into May. Elon Musk declared he has Asperger s on Saturday Night Live. Does he know that Asperger s as a diagnosis went the way of Pluto as a planet?

As agents of change, inclusion and social cohesion, the museums in the FRAME network are deeply committed to providing equal access to their collections for all audiences through targeted programs for visitors with special needs.

A New Jerseypolice department is equipping its patrol cars with new Emergency Sensory Tool Kits and training for officers aimed at improving its response to situations involving people with autism or other special needs.
