Kudos to Denmark for taking this brave step to ban unnecessary male circumcison. Mind you, this doesn’t affect medically-required circumcisions caused by infections or pirosis or religious-required such as for Jews and Muslims–although if a religion said infants had to be branded with a mark there’d be a bit of a protest, no?

Also very interesting to read about how to explain to children with autism about tragedies like losing one’s home in the wildfires in California . I think such approaches can be applied to any child whether they have autism or not.
