Episode notes
Autism Has Complex Causes
- Scientists stress autism likely arises from complex genetic and environmental interactions, not a single cause.
- Studies on acetaminophen during pregnancy show associations but not proven causation, so evidence remains inconclusive.
Use Tylenol Cautiously In Pregnancy
- Use acetaminophen in pregnancy only at the lowest effective dose and as infrequently as possible.
- Consider treating fever carefully because uncontrolled fevers also pose risks during pregnancy.
Research Funding Could Reignite Vaccine Claims
- The administration announced federal funding to research environmental factors for autism, including long-debunked vaccine theories.
- That move may revive controversies despite longstanding scientific consensus that vaccines do not cause autism.
