"President Donald Trump announced Monday that his administration is strongly recommending that women limit Tylenol use during pregnancy unless medically necessary. I want to say it like it is, don't take Tylenol, he said, encouraging women to just fight like hell not to take it. But his comments came under intense criticism from medical experts and researchers because there's no proof tying the painkiller to autism. He also made a number of dubious claims about autism, vaccines and treatments."
"In 2000, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention put the rate at 1 in 150. In 2018, it was 1 in 44. The latest count, based on 2022 data, is 1 in 31. Scientists say the explanation is that decades ago diagnosis was rare, given only to kids with severe problems. Diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder began jumping as scientists learned the developmental disorder encompasses a wide range of traits and symptoms."
President Donald Trump advised pregnant women to avoid Tylenol, urging them to 'fight like hell' not to take it, and the administration recommended limiting acetaminophen use unless medically necessary. Medical experts say there is no proven link between maternal acetaminophen use and autism. Autism prevalence estimates rose from 1 in 150 in 2000 to 1 in 44 in 2018 and 1 in 31 based on 2022 data, largely due to broader diagnostic criteria and increased recognition and services. Genetics are identified as the major risk factor for autism; other risks include older paternal age, preterm birth and maternal health problems.
