April is #WorldAutismMonth. Autism is a developmental disorder that can affect the way someone communicates, socializes or learns. If someone in your life is diagnosed with autism, the best thing you can do is learn how to support them! Learn more: tinyurl.com/2z3ruxy6.

After reviewing leaked documents, we have found UnitedHealth is strategically limiting access to a treatment for thousands of children with autism across the country in order to cut costs.
Advocates say the company’s strategy may be illegal.

I saw a bunch of kids in the office today.
Kids with Medicaid. Kids who lost their Medicaid.
Well kids. Kids with special health care needs.
Kids with depression. Kids with ADHD.
And I realized just how important this election is for all of these kids.
Please #VoteKids.

The U.S. Senate just passed the Kids Online Safety and Privacy Act which combines two longtime AAP priorities: the Kids Online Safety Act and the Children’s Online Privacy and Protection Act. These policies will help ensure a healthier digital ecosystem for kids and teens.

Listening to the many parents of transgender youth in SC tell their personal stories as they testify against H4624 is truly life changing.
These kids matter. Their families matter.
SC legislature, if you won’t listen to doctors like me, please listen to them. – at South Carolina, USA

By the way, for everyone agonizing over this:
Here in Massachusetts, breakfast & lunch (and at many schools, an afternoon snack) is FREE FOR ALL CHILDREN from pre-school through high school.
Our school system is rated #1 in the country.
There is no “down side” to feeding kids.
