There is a correlation between mothers who take tylenol while pregnant and children who develop autism in some studies.
But it could be just as likely that autism is both hereditary and comorbid with other painful diseases like Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, mom is also autistic but from a generation that doesn’t get diagnosed, and she’s also in pain and taking tylenol, and her kid gets autism because of genetics and not tylenol.
An article from last April in JAMA also compared between a no-control cohort and a sibling-control cohort. When a control is there for comparison, the potential correlation goes away meaning it’s just as likely any findings are confounded anyway.
But there isn’t evidence linking autism to Tylenol either, right?
