Painful

Acetaminphen is known as Tylenol in the US and paracetamol in the UK. It's a non-steroidal pain-reliever and fever-reducing agent. Tylenol is thus a medication that can be safely taken by pregnant women. It doesn't interfere with their changing hormones. There's actually no reliable evidence, that taking this drug appropriately, causes autism in offspring. In spite of this, senior US politicians are insisting there's a link and that pregnant women should just "suck up the pain". Pet 'theories' lacking any evidence, is not how science works. Two things 1. A real theory is a hypothesis that's currently accepted by a majority of informed specialists and 2. Autism also probably reflects human neurodiversity (some autists are actually talented original thinkers). An additional attempt to link autism to childhood vaccination schedules is also based on zero reliable evidence. Perhaps throwing multiple 'causes' of autism into the arena is simply an attempt to bamboozle. Science isn't always right (advice changes as reliable information is added) but folk are likely to be damaged by relying on conspiracy obsessions.
