This article is AHEADD’s first blog post including an op-ed piece found in the New York Times. Typically, we do our best to include peer-reviewed research articles, however, we feel it is important to highlight some of the pertinent issues faced by the adult community in addition to reviewing and presenting relevant research. The opinions presented in this post do not necessarily represent the views of our staff, but we do feel that they are worth some thought and discussion.
