ADA Twist, Scientist: Show Me the Bunny: A Picture Book
NetflixMedlife Crisis (Rohin)The new series of Ada Twist, Scientist (Netflix kids show) has a sensitively made episode about kids with autism & intellectual disability. Ep 2 talks about the placebo effect. Two subjects close to my heart. My 6yo now understands evidence better than a lot of medfluencers! 😆
