"Autism charity AsIAm expresses deep concern at president's comments"
""Fight like hell not to take it," US president Donald Trump told expectant mothers this week when he claimed there is a link between pregnant women taking paracetamol and autism in children."
"The claim has been rejected by Ireland's medicine watchdog, autism advocates and other experts."
Autism charity AsIAm expressed deep concern after US president Donald Trump told expectant mothers, "Fight like hell not to take it," while claiming a link between pregnant women taking paracetamol and autism in children. The claim alleged that prenatal paracetamol use increases autism risk. Ireland's medicines regulator, autism advocates, and other medical experts rejected the asserted connection and disputed its scientific basis. Health authorities emphasized that existing research does not demonstrate causation between recommended paracetamol use during pregnancy and autism. The statement raised public anxiety and underscored the need for accurate, evidence-based guidance on medication use in pregnancy.
