Today I had the absolute pleasure of visiting Flute Theatre and sitting in on rehearsals for King Leah. It was truly inspiring to see such a talented group of autistic actors bringing the work to life with such creativity, honesty and passion. The room was full of energy, focus and brilliant storytelling a real reminder of the power of inclusive theatre. Thank you Kelly and Harry for having me, I left feeling so uplifted and inspired ✨

Make A Scene Theatre does not in any way support the recent announcement made by the US government regarding the cause of autism.
There is currently no proven, peer-reviewed evidence to support these claims.
We stand with leading UK autism organisations, who have released the following joint statement on this matter 👇

The US government has linked the pain reliever Tylenol – known as paracetamol in the UK – to autism. The evidence to suggest paracetamol use in pregnancy increases the likelihood of a baby being autistic is very weak and based on poorly conducted studies.

We challenge any policy that is based on unsound evidence and that could put autistic people, their families and the wider public at risk. We stand with autistic children and young people, their families and other UK autism charities to call out this dangerous misinformation.
