r/autismpolitics Newsletter #2

Hello, everyone.

The mod team has decided to create a weekly newsletter featuring news relevant to our sub. Every week, between Thursday and Friday (hopefully), we will post a list of news items that were not previously shared in the sub. We'd like to encourage discussion about them, so feel free to comment here. Don't forget to mention the specific news item you're referring to, for example:

RE: Hummus prices continue to fall worldwide
Hummus is delicious, I think we should celebrate that.

If you have any suggestions or constructive criticisms, please, tell us. Some people pointed out, for example, that our first newsletter didn't have any news about autism or autistic people, so we tried to change that this time.
