♿ Miami-Dade Disability & Autism Newsletter 🧩

Good morning, my fellow Miamians 🦩

AI moved to the center of the autism conversation this week. Stanford researchers reported that a chatbot boosted autistic adults' real-world empathy. Yale mapped how autistic brains process faces differently. The tools are showing up faster than anyone's stopping to ask what they cost.

That question is the whole episode this week: AI and Autism: The Risk Nobody's Talking About. It's the side of the story the press releases skip.

Plus 9 stories that crossed my desk this week, from the Justice Department calling a major piece of ADA guidance 'not enforceable' to a nonprofit tech house putting assistive equipment directly in people's hands. I dig for the week's disability news so you don't have to. That's the point of this thing, it's written by a dad who lives it, not a committee.
