Definitely not the leading cause of autism, definitely a contributing factor to the complicated generic expression cascade that can lead to autism [1]. "We identified 46 studies for inclusion in our analysis. Of these, 27 studies reported positive associations (significant links to NDDs), 9 showed null associations (no significant link), and 4 indicated negative associations (protective effects). Higher-quality studies were more likely to show positive associations. Overall, the majority of the studies reported positive associations of prenatal acetaminophen use with ADHD, ASD, or NDDs in offspring, with risk-of-bias and strength-of-evidence ratings informing the overall synthesis."

      Google is often like drinking from a firehouse and my skill set doesn’t include bio- or medicinal chemistry. Hard to evaluate the output w/o the proper skills.
