On this P.S. I Love You Day, I want to remind you of something important…

P.S. You matter more than you know.

Here’s your lighthouse tip for today:
💜 Check in, don’t check out. 💜

Send a quick text. Make a call. Sit with someone for a few extra minutes. Connection is one of the strongest protectors of mental health. Even small moments of kindness can shine a very bright light.

If you or someone you love is struggling, you are not alone.
📞 Call or text 988 to reach the National Su***de & Crisis Lifeline — available 24/7, free, and confidential.

Science news can be overwhelming, here's a great source that breaks down the evidence.

Recently, you may have seen claims online suggesting a link between acetaminophen (Tylenol) use and autism. It’s important to know: legitimate, peer-reviewed scientific studies have not recognized acetaminophen as a causal factor for autism. This is also true of vaccines. Vaccines continue to be safe in preventing many know diseases with no link to autism.

Misinformation can spread quickly, especially when it touches on children’s health. Parents deserve accurate, evidence-based information when making decisions. Before drawing conclusions, always look to credible sources such as peer-reviewed research, pediatric associations, and trusted healthcare providers.

* Stick with science.
* Ask your child’s doctor when you have concerns.
* Take online claims with caution.

Your best resource will always be legitimate, well-conducted scientific studies, not speculation or fear-driven posts.
Let us also respect the role of neurodiversity with regard to autism and other neurodivergent traits. Respecting neurodiversity means valuing autistic voices, honoring differences, and creating spaces where individuals can thrive as they are. True inclusion happens when we embrace—not erase—those differences.

Here's an easy to read summary of what we know:
