Please don’t take medical advice from a glorified Oompa Loompa!

Trump, the boaster of vaccines in operation warp speed and supporter of big pharma Covid vaccines, a claim to fame for his first term . Trump the the initial supporter of childhood vaccines, has yet again backflipped not only on his vaccine stance but also spreading ‘fake news’ on paracetamol causing autism. Sighting taking the drug in pregnancy is causing autism and adhd.

A ‘category A’ drug proven to be safe by so many medical professionals.

Neurodivergence is hereditary! Whilst there may be many unknown contributing factors, let’s leave the research to medical professionals.

🛑 STOP BLAMING WOMEN!
🛑 STOP SPREADING POORLY RESEARCHED RESULTS!
🛑 STOP TREATING AUTISTICS AS ‘LESS THAN’ or SECOND CLASS CITIZENS!

Announcing his news at a memorial service is crass and gross. If the parents here are questioning themselves on their panadol usage and beating themselves up, please read the TGA response where scientists globally are rejecting the claims!

Australia’s Chief Medical Officer and the TGA join with other global medicines regulators, leading clinicians and scientists worldwide in rejecting claims regarding the use of paracetamol in pregnancy, and the subsequent risk of development of ADHD or autism in children.

Robust scientific evidence shows no causal link between the use of paracetamol in pregnancy and autism or ADHD, with several large and reliable studies directly contradicting these claims.

Paracetamol remains the recommended treatment option for pain or fever in pregnant women when used as directed. Importantly, untreated fever and pain can pose risks to the unborn baby, highlighting the importance of managing these symptoms with recommended treatment. Pregnant women should speak to their healthcare professionals if they have questions about any medication during pregnancy.

We are also in our showgirl era!
We’ve been slow on the socials but we will be updating our information about the ‘Australian Conference on Neurodevelopmental Disorders’ we will be presenting at in Tassie this September

Well….. WTF has thoughts.
An announcement made today that will impact so many. An announcement that states it’s not being made lightly as it’s not news parents want to hear, yet is so light on information.

Like everyone else….. all the questions.
It appears to be moving back to a medical model stating that children are being over serviced. So getting ‘too much help’.

This help is what has allowed our family to make progress, to step forward towards inclusion, and build lifelong capacities.

Our boy does not present with the skills or independence of a a child of the same age, yet is possible getting too much support?

This announcement has been made with such limited information, that people are spiralling. The mental load with additional needs is significant enough, the minefield of NDIS is traumatic enough and now the goal posts are being moved. How triggering, how messed up, how helpless and exhausted must we all feel.

To parents out there, it’s a kick in the guts to know your child qualifies with a lifelong disability by diagnostic professional standards. But aren’t quite disabled enough to have consistent support 🤦‍♀️

I’m wild with anger, disappointment and frustration and I know I’m not alone.

Children with autism or development delays will be moved off the NDIS and into a new program called Thriving Kids, the federal health minister has announced.

It comes after a surge in young people using the NDIS when it is not the right fit for them, Mark Butler says.

Is your child affected by the changes? We want to hear from you.
