APA Statement on White House Announcement on Autism https://ow.ly/P6k850X0zCi

09/23/2025

Today’s White House event on autism was filled with dangerous claims and misleading information that sends a confusing message to parents and expecting parents and does a disservice to autistic individuals.

We know autism is complex, highly variable and increasingly linked to genetics. Individualized plans, often involving a combination of developmental, behavioral, educational and social-relational strategies, can help improve outcomes that are meaningful to individuals and families. We also need and welcome additional investments in federally funded research to better support families of autistic children.

Families who have questions about their child’s medications, autism care plans or other health care should consult with their pediatrician or health care provider.

When Disagreement Becomes Violence — A Call For Compassion & Reflection 🩶

Something deeply troubling has happened. The murder of a PERSON…. A HUMAN — over politics, ideology, or disagreement is a fundamental breakdown of civility in our society. As mental health professionals, we feel this deeply, because violence is not an acceptable response to conflict.

What This Says About Us
• We live in a world where moral polarization is weaponized. Disagreement is no longer a chance for dialogue but grounds for dehumanization. Once someone becomes “the other,” empathy takes a backseat — and the cycle of hatred intensifies.
• The culture of “us vs. them” erodes trust. It damages our sense of community. When we believe people who think differently than we do are threats rather than humans, we lose shared safety and social cohesion.
• Emotional and mental toll. Incidents like this trigger fear, grief, anger, anxiety — not just among the victim’s family, but across connected communities, especially among those personally targeted by hate or political violence. Many are retraumatized.

What We All Can Do
1. Pause before we judge or lash out. Recognize when anger arises. Use it as a signal to slow down, reflect, and choose responses rather than impulses.
2. Seek dialogue over monologue. We don’t have to agree with everyone, but making space to listen helps rehumanize people we may see as “other.”
3. Hold ourselves and others accountable. It’s not enough to say disagreements exist — we have to reject violence as a strategy. Speak out when language crosses a line.
4. Protect your mental health. Limit exposure to inflammatory media or social media. Take breaks. Debrief with trusted friends or professionals.

Our Role as Mental Health Providers
• We strive to heal hearts and minds, especially after trauma. In moments like this, we offer support, processing spaces, and resources to help people move through anger, grief, or fear.
• We encourage empathy as a tool for wellness. Not because everyone must agree — but because we are all human beings with complex inner lives and vulnerabilities.

💙 May this moment be a wake-up — not to more division, but to the compassion and unity that truly build societies worth living in.

If you are feeling overwhelmed by what’s happening — anxious, angry, afraid — you’re not alone.
Let’s move forward together.

✨ What Does a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner Do? ✨
At the office of Megan Beach, PMHNP, we’re committed to helping you feel your best — but we know there’s sometimes confusion about what our role includes.

• Prescribe and manage medications
• Monitor your progress and adjust treatment as needed

💬 While we do not provide talk therapy at the office of Megan Beach, PMHNP, we value a team-based approach and often work alongside therapists to ensure you receive the comprehensive care you deserve.

✨ Therapy + medication can be a powerful combination.
We’re here to support you on the medication side of your mental health journey — with compassion, expertise, and understanding.

**We are NOT closing the practice**
(this is the sign posted on our door)

There is some misinformation circulating!! The provider is out of the office this week and next week! The office staff is still going to the office to check the voicemail and email and return calls/schedule appointments/resolve issues! If you call the office and no one answers, you MUST leave a message if you want a return call from us! All of our patients have been sent multiple emails (for 2 months now) and informed at their last appointments about this absence, if you are a patient and didn’t receive anything, please inform the office managers because your contact info may need to be updated!
