What a joy to be part of such an inspirational, diverse and inclusively minded 3 days at the first LICIE conference!

Overjoyed that a quote from one of my participants about addressing the ‘Double Empathy Problem’ was included in the live artwork 🤩

Hats off to everyone involved!

Autism isn’t caused by medicine.
Claims that paracetamol in pregnancy causes autism are false.
We do not need to prevent or cure autism.
Autistic people are valuable.

Great guidance here from @contactfamilies.bsky.social for anyone who is worried or concerned with the news today.

Claims that paracetamol in pregnancy causes autism are false. Autism isn’t caused by medicine. For guidance visit:
Pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility while taking paracetamol for adults
NHS medicines information on paracetamol and whether you can take it while pregnant or breastfeeding.

Alternatively, we can learn from #autistic and other #neurodivergent authored theory & #EdRes, and use #neuro-affirming approaches.

Less danger of #schooldistress, #masking and #burnout.

@autisticrealms.bsky.social & @tanyaadkin.bsky.social have a fab explainer:
