New technology is changing how brain health is monitored.
The FDA has approved a new in-ear EEG device that can track brain activity outside of a clinic during everyday life.

In this post series, we’re breaking down what this means, why it matters, and how it could make care more comfortable and accessible for many people.

Extreme cold can be dangerous for everyone, especially children, older adults, and people with sensory sensitivities or health needs.

Some autistic people may not notice or communicate when they are too cold. Pause to check how they’re feeling and if adjustments are needed.

Here are some simple ways to stay safe during very cold weather.

Tension is high right now, and there is a lot of uncertainty about the future. As parents and caregivers of autistic children, this can feel especially overwhelming.

Anna Elder of Anna Elder Homes recently shared a reminder that, while so much is out of our control, we can control how we respond and how we continue to show up for our children.

Through all the chaos, Anna shared that her greatest concern remains the safety, well-being, and support of our children. And she reminds us that we are not powerless. There is still so much we can do together.

“We Have Rights” — A Social Story for Kids

This gentle, age-appropriate story helps children understand rights, safety, and boundaries in a calm and reassuring way. It reinforces that:

✨ It’s okay to have big feelings
🏡 Homes are private and safe spaces
👨‍👩‍👧 Grown-ups are there to protect them
🤝 Everyone has rights
💙 Kids are loved — and don’t need to fix “big things”

Thank you to Anna Elder for this thoughtful message and for continuing to center care, compassion, and community.
