According to Trump I gave both my children autism by taking paracetamol while I was pregnant. Oh and because l've had them both vaccinated of course.

Nothing to do with it streaking through generations of the family.

Do you have any idea how utterly useless his 'statistics' were?

Based on his statistics sea swimming "predicts" chocolate allergy.

Paper diaries "predict" lost umbrellas.

Paracetamol does not cause autism.
Vaccines do not cause autism.
Cold mothers do not cause autism.
Genetics cause autism.

Yes, being autistic can be hard, raising autistic children can be hard.

But the only thing that makes autism hard is living in a world that both demands you be anything but autistic, at the same time continuously acting as though having an autistic child would be the most horrific thing that ever happened to you as a parent.

I can attest, it is not.

That's not to minimise the very real challenge of high support needs autism, but even that becomes about understanding, empathy, support, structures, accommodations.

I'll be honest. When each of my children were diagnosed, I grieved. Not for who they were, but for the world in which they had to exist.

A world who says they're to be feared, cured, avoided, eradicated.

My life is enriched by autism. It's brilliant, entertaining, challenging, thought provoking, hilarious, honest, exhausting, and enlightening. It is a part of the whole, not the whole part, and certainly not a part to be feared.

I mean, you probably wouldn't be reading this if it wasn't for a multitude of autistic brains.

To Trump and his bu****it fear mongering science: Your ignorance bores me, your followers disappoint me.

This was a year ago and I cannot tell you the difference now. We’ve gone from me not able to leave her room for hours to her taking herself for a shower and getting into bed and going to sleep. Alone. (Obviously with goodnight cuddles and the likes!). Of course it’s a different life for me, but most importantly her confidence has grown, her self belief has grown, and her independence has grown.

It all started changing here.
