The doctor gave me two 3D prints of my skull. One of them pre FFS and one post FFS. Of course one is going to my bestie and comrade in collecting oddities, and the other is going to be a desk display. I love this stuff. Crazy they usually just throw these out.

Just looked at the Mayo Clinic's page on autism, and oof, it's bad. Way less nuance than one expects from a prestigious clinic.

For example, it says autistic children may "have no expression on their faces", without any mention of how our facial expressions might be subtler, different than expected, or misinterpreted by others. Some parent on the hunt for trustworthy sources is going to see that and think "my child smiles, they can't be autistic!"

And that's far from the only problem. It makes a TON of assumptions, such as that a child who spins the wheels on a toy car "doesn't know what the object is for". It reads more like a freshman's Psych 101 paper than a gold-standard source of medical knowledge.

Why, in the Year of our Lord 2025, must "state-of-the-art" medical organizations still fumble SO badly when it comes to autism?

Small clips inserted into the heart prevent leakage of blood from a faulty valve, thereby preventing potential serious health problems.

A very small clip inserted directly into the heart prevents leakage of blood caused by a valve that fails to close properly, thereby preventing potential serious health problems.

The mitral valve opens between two of the four chambers of the heart, regulating the flow of blood from the left atrium into the left ventricle below.

But, LifeCord CEO Yaron David tells NoCamels, in many cases, the flaps of the valve do not close properly and blood flows back into the left atrium, a phenomenon called mitral regurgitation. This puts strain on the heart, forcing it to work harder and eventually causing health issues that can lead to cardiac arrest and even stroke.
