So lovely to read feedback from people who have been through our peer support programme - this is why we do what we do!

Recent comments in the media suggesting that paracetamol causes autism are not only scientifically unfounded, but also deeply damaging. Autism is a natural neurodevelopmental difference, not an illness caused by something parents did or did not do.

UK health officials have confirmed that paracetamol remains the safest painkiller for pregnant women. There is no conclusive evidence showing that taking paracetamol in pregnancy causes autism.
