Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"A panel of international experts are calling for the introduction of a new diagnosis of "profound autism" amid concerns that people with the greatest need for support are being overlooked in services, research and funding. Noting that awareness of autism "has grown monumentally in the past 20 years", they said "much more could be done to improve life outcomes for those with the disability."
A media organization requests donations to fund on-the-ground reporting across issues including reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, and emphasizes avoiding paywalls so journalism remains available to everyone, funded by those who can afford it. A panel of international experts recommends introducing a 'profound autism' diagnosis to identify autistic children aged eight and over who have little or no functional language, an IQ below 50, and require round-the-clock supervision. The proposed category aims to help governments and service providers plan and allocate resources for people with the most complex needs. Implementation would require investments in practical clinical research and strengthened social and service systems.
