Love on the Spectrum cast furiously hit back at Trump calling autism a ‘horrible crisis’
'Families need facts - not fear'
Love on the Spectrum cast members are furiously hitting out at President Donald Trump‘s claims that autism can be fixed, such as by Tylenol. First, it was Dani Bowman who spoke out on her socials, and was closely followed by Pari, who starred on season three.
Trump called the rise in reported autism cases a “horrible crisis”, and an issue that he has “very strong feelings about”. As a result, people from the Netflix show – and thousands further afield – feel that he’s made it seem as though autism can be cured.
Dani slams Trump’s claims about autism
Dani is speaking out about Trump’s claims, which included that California had a “more severe problem” with autism than other states, and that taking Tylenol during pregnancy was linked to a “very increased risk” of autism in children.
She responded: “As an autistic entrepreneur and researcher I welcomed today’s announcement with cautious optimism. I watched the announcement from Trump and RFK Jr and these are my thoughts on their conclusion of the cause and cure for autism.”
“Leucovorin may help a small group of kids with folate issues, but it is not a cure for autism. And when it comes to Tylenol, we have to be careful. Associations aren’t proof, families need clear evidence based guidance, not fear,” Dani added.
She continued: “What matters most is research that truly improves autistic lives.We can debate theories all day but families need evidence based guidance they can trust. Autism isn’t a disease to cure, it’s a difference that deserves support.”
Pari claims autism is ‘not something to fix’
After Trump’s claims, Pari is joining the bandwagon to slam Trump’s claims. She said in a video: “I wanted to make a video that we ‘need to be cured’ and the recent statements that Trump said. Whatever said you’re on, shaming autism is not alright.”
“Cancer is a deadly physical disease that unfortunately takes many lives, and has danger. Autism, on the other hand, is a neurological condition that’s not a disease, that’s a common misconception. I don’t think people with autism should be shamed,” she added.
