We were disappointed to see the recent statement from the Trump administration linking paracetamol use in pregnancy to autism.
This claim is not supported by robust evidence and risks causing unnecessary worry for autistic people, their families, and the wider public.
As proud members of the Autism Alliance, we stand alongside fellow organisations across the UK in supporting the joint statement issued today.
Here in East Anglia, our focus remains on ensuring autistic people and their families feel seen, safe, and supported every day.
We now call on governments to follow high-quality evidence that helps autistic people to thrive, rather than revisiting disproven theories.
