Pregnancy Acetaminophen Use Ups Kids' Autism, ADHD Risk

JAMA Network

About The Study: Acetaminophen use during pregnancy was not associated with children's risk of autism, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), or intellectual disability in sibling control analysis. This suggests that associations observed in other models may have been attributable to familial confounding.
