You may have seen recent comments from Donald Trump suggesting that paracetamol (acetaminophen/Tylenol) in pregnancy causes autism. Understandably, this has caused worry for many parents.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝘆𝘀:

Some older studies showed associations between paracetamol use and autism, but these studies could not prove cause, and were limited by bias and confounding factors.

Large, well-designed research (including sibling-comparison studies) has found no evidence that paracetamol causes autism once family and health factors are taken into account.

In the UK, the MHRA and NHS continue to recommend paracetamol as one of the safest pain relief options in pregnancy when used as directed.

Untreated fever and pain in pregnancy carry risks of their own, which is why doctors advise using the lowest effective dose, for the shortest time needed.

𝗕𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲: There is no good evidence that paracetamol causes autism. Autism has strong genetic and neurodevelopmental foundations and is not caused by a single medicine or action taken in pregnancy.

Quiet doesn’t always mean fine.

Many students mask through the school day, only to reach breaking point at home. Recognition helps teachers, families and young people see the full picture and start offering the right support.
