Health and Human Services is preparing a report that reportedly links prenatal acetaminophen use and certain vitamin deficiencies, such as leucovorin, to autism spectrum disorder.

Autism involves hundreds of linked genes and complex environmental factors, making simplistic causal claims misleading and unsupported by robust research.
