In response to the announcement from the Trump administration about autism and the use of Tylenol (Paracetamol) during pregnancy, we have issued a joint statement from the Autism Alliance and other autism organisations advocating at a national level (Autistica, Ambitious about Autism and the National Autistic Society). 

 

The Kent Autistic Trust will speak out against misinformation and to the increasing risk to the public perception of autism, whether through announcements from the US administration, or the increasing focus on ‘overdiagnosis’ in UK politics and policy – both of which have the potential to do real damage in a climate where division and hate are increasing. It is vitally important that we have a clear position and speak with a strong voice. Please, share the correct message based on scientific evidence. Thank you for your ongoing support. 

 

Kind regards, 

Christine Edwards-Daem,

Chief Executive
