Statement from the Neurodivergent SLT Network UK
We, the Neurodivergent SLT Network UK, strongly condemn President Trump’s recent claims that paracetamol causes autism. These statements are not only scientifically baseless—they are profoundly harmful.

I keep listening to myself in my first postgraduate researcher Vlog !!! This statement might sound a bit vain… but speaking from the child with special needs who couldn’t read independently till age 11 or talk to anyone without crying for years… it makes me feel pretty good to see my confidence ♥️
I’ve made this video for my research study supervisor after they requested a “noddy” version of a very upside down research methodology that I’m using. I’m not sure though I’ve achieved this 🤣 let me know what you’re thinking in the comments below ⤵️ youtu.be/zYst-AfubkM?... #diffractivemethodology

I recorded a podcast at RCSLT to give a response to their report on the experiences of disabled SLTs.
The headline…? … “there is ableism and discrimination in the SLT profession”!!!
No mincing of words in this report. No watering it down. It’s sobering.
