Students resign from the Harvard Graduate Student Union due to antisemitism. At 26 students right now.

Without commenting on what the union said or didn’t say because I don’t know & honestly don’t really care either, this is why it’s a stupid to expect every organization to Put Out A Statement like you’re the fucking state department when you have no chance whatsoever of an impact

Ari Ne'eman manvir singh Ira Eidle Sara Luterman The New Yorker So nice to meet you! Thank you for weighing in. As an editor myself, I wonder if this part is muddling things, because it could convey:

-Aspies failed

“Unfortunately, it has been made clear to us that this union does not extend this same compassion to those of us whose loved ones have been subject to Hamas’s ongoing attacks on Israeli civilians…”

The considerations in this paper are miles away from where ethics committees are in approving autism research and interventions, especially those looking at behaviourist approaches.

The gap needs to close and harms better understood. A very good paper.

'Despite neurodiversity’s cultural currency, we have won surprisingly few shifts in autism service-provision and research, the primary areas the movement emerged to target.'
