[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DP. This is sort of an obvious question, but have scientists definitively ruled out fever as the causal link in any Tylenol/ASD correlation? [/quote] Fever — especially fever in the second trimester — is definitely associated with increased risk of ASD in child. https://www.nature.com/articles/mp2017119 It makes sense that women who have more fevers would take more Tylenol, since that’s the only medicine they can really take. But it seems possible that the problem is the fever itself, not the medicine to bring down the fever. Tylenol would therefore be correlated but not the cause (in which case telling women “don’t take Tylenol” would make the incidences of ASD rise, not fall) The question is whether researchers have adjusted for this adequately in their studies on ASD/Tylenol.
