NPR NewsBy Jon Hamilton & Yuki NoguchiSeptember 22, 2025The Trump administration is expected to assert later today that use of acetaminophen — the active ingredient in Tylenol — can increase the risk of autism when used during pregnancy, despite the fact that scientific research has not conclusively demonstrated a causal link.White House officials are also expected to suggest that a form of vitamin B that is typically used in conjunction with cancer treatment could be used to treat autism.
This is how cuckoo this is.
- How many people take Tylenol? It is estimated 50 million Americans take acetaminophen every week.
- Autism rates have risen, but not in a way that matches acetaminophen use.
- If there was correlation between the rise in Autism and Tylenol they would track the same.
Before the Term “Autism” was coined the disease were said to be possessed, or mentally ill. Then in 1943, Leo Kanner described what he called "early infantile autism." and in 1944 Hans Asperger defined the syndrome. In 1955 Tylenol was discovered. So how in hell could it have been Tylenol that caused the early cases.
But here s the kicker... DSM-III (1980): First official recognition of autism as its own diagnosis.
DSM-IV (1994): Introduced “Pervasive Developmental Disorders,” including: Autistic Disorder,
Asperger’s Syndrome, and PDD-NOS (not otherwise specified).
You have to realize that the function of the DSM is to bill insurance companies. So before then the medical professionals had nothing to bill their hours for treating patients. They didn't have a defined way to charge their hours, so now they started bill hours toward 299.00 & F84.0
If they want to looking into Tylenol and learning disorder fine... but don't blame it because there is zero link to Autism.
So I award RFK Jr. with the Cuckoo Award.
