Experts Debunk Myths Linking Autism To GMOs, Poor Parenting

Experts say autism is a neurodevelopmental condition not caused by GMOs or poor parenting, urging Nigerians to end stigma and support autistic children. The Founder of Mindful Bridges Foundation, Rosemary Mbanefo, has clarified that poor parenting is not responsible for autism, urging Nigerians to stop stigmatizing parents of autistic children. Mbanefo spoke on Saturday in Abuja during an autism awareness engagement and walk organized by the Foundation to debunk myths and promote acceptance for persons living with autism.

How to estimate a child's adult height: the mid-parental method vs. CDC growth-curve projection

Most free child height calculators lean on one of two ideas, or a mix of both. One looks at the parents. The other looks at the child's position on a growth chart. Both fit in about 20 lines of JavaScript, and once you have written them you will understand what those calculators can and cannot tell you. This post walks through both methods, the formulas behind them, a runnable snippet, and the limits worth knowing before you put a number in front of a worried parent. The simplest approach comes from J. M. Tanner and colleagues in 1970.
