Just quickly popping in to say that President Trump said today that taking paracetamol in pregnancy and vaccines cause autism.

This is misinformation. There are studies of millions of births which show that this is not the case.

Yes, there has a been a huge rise in autism diagnoses over the last 45 years. That's because the diagnostic criteria have radically changed. It used to be a rare diagnosis only given to children with severe learning disabilities, it's now quite a common diagnosis given to many people with and without learning disabilities. The people who are being diagnosed with autism today would, for the most part, not have met diagnostic criteria in the 1980s.

Autism is a umbrella term which includes a very wide range of people. Scientists agree that there will never be a single cause identified because autistic people are so different to each other.

It's fear-mongering to start blaming paracetamol and vaccines.

Fantastic new advert from Dove, that hits on a personal and professional level.

New research by the Dove Self-Esteem Project found that social media is harming the mental health of 3 in 5 kids. Join us, along with Common Sense Media and ...

I am loving the fact that Eastenders are now doing a storyline about the harm undiagnosed neurodiverse conditions can cause for kids at school, as well as the damage that can be done by teachers having limited understanding of how ASD/ADHD can present. Diagnosis isn't for everyone, but the difference I've seen it have on both adolescent and adult lives, has been life changing.

If you are interested in this subject, keep an eye out for a link I'm going to post, to an article I wrote about recognising undiagnosed neurodiversity in psychotherapy :)
