The Independent emphasizes the importance of on-the-ground reporting in a critical time for the US, tackling issues from reproductive rights to climate change. They highlight their commitment to making quality journalism accessible to all, without paywalls. The article also discusses TV presenter Chris Packham's critique of US health secretary RFK Jr's claims regarding autism, asserting that greater awareness, not an epidemic, has emerged, enabling more individuals to seek help and support for autism, thus highlighting the positive impact of social media in this context.
Firstly, there's no epidemic. What we have done is we've created a wider awareness of this condition (autism) and therefore more people are able, hopefully, to access help.
That's opening our eyes to the fact that these conditions are real and they need addressing and support.
