You’re not going to become autistic all of sudden after taking Tylenol. The claim is that it effects the fetus during pregnancy

- wizzwizz4 1y agoAnd the claim is probably bogus. If it were true, we'd expect other evidence (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45147119 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45147119) that hasn't showed up. More likely, it's an artefact of autism diagnosis rates varying in different populations, and maybe something to do with autistic mothers' fucky pain tolerances. More likely to take painkillers + more likely to get your child assessed for autism = observed (tiny) correlation, even in the absence of any causation.
- buellerbueller 1y agoI am not worried about autism, ya goof! there has repeatedly been shown to be no link, and i am already autistic. I am worried RFKJ will make tyelnol harder to get.
