American actress and singer, Holly Robinson Peete, is voicing her opinion after Trump claims that taking Tylenol while pregnant increases the risk of autism in unborn babies.
As an advocate for autism and a mother of a 27-year-old son who was diagnosed with autism when he was three, she shares a different perspective from President Trump.
Peete wrote an Instagram post on Monday with her thoughts.
“Don’t be distracted by all of these causation theories and breaking news shiny press conferences… let’s all focus on getting the services to families that are desperate for them,” she said. “And let’s normalize normalizing kindness towards people who process the world differently.”
In a second Instagram post, Peete continued.
“For far too long, mothers have been unfairly blamed for their children’s #autism. Many of us have worked tirelessly to erase that stigma and replace it with truth and love,” she said.
“To any mom who is feeling heavy today, and to every pregnant mother carrying worry — please know I’m thinking of you, standing with you, and reminding you: blame has no place here.”
