Dani from Love on the Spectrum responds to claims that taking Tylenol causes autism
President Trump claimed pregnant women taking the painkiller could cause autism
Dani from Love on the Spectrum has hit back at claims made by President Trump, as he said that pregnant women taking Tylenol could cause autism.
Dani responded: “As an autistic entrepreneur and researcher I welcomed todays announcement with cautious optimism. I watched the announcement from Trump and RFK Jr and these are my thoughts on their conclusion of the cause and cure for autism.
“Leucovorin may help a small group of kids with folate issues, but it is not a cure for autism. And when it comes to Tylenol, we have to be carful.
“Associations aren’t proof, families need clear evidence based guidance, not fear. What matters most is research that truly improves autistic lives.”
She continued: “Leucovorin may help a few, but autism is not something to cure, it’s something to support. Associations aren’t proof. Real progress comes from evidence based research, not political soundbites.
“We can debate theories all day but families need evidence based guidance they can trust. Autism isn’t a disease to cure, it’s a difference that deserves support.
“Good science doesn’t come from soundbites, it comes from evidence and replications. Don’t let them frame Leucovorin as a blanket autism cure, it only applies to a narrow subgroup. Push back gently, but firmly on Tylenol claims, correlations doesn’t mean causation.”
The maker of Tylenol has also pushed back about the claims that the painkiller could cause autism, saying such claims are “dangerous.”
A spokesperson stated: “We believe independent, sound science clearly shows that taking acetaminophen does not cause autism.
“We strongly disagree with any suggestion otherwise and are deeply concerned with the health risk this poses for expecting mothers.”
She continued: “Acetaminophen is the safest pain reliever option for pregnant women as needed throughout their entire pregnancy.
“Without it, women face dangerous choices: Suffer through conditions like fever that are potentially harmful to both mom and baby or use riskier alternatives.
“The facts are that over a decade of rigorous research, endorsed by leading medical professionals and global health regulators, confirms there is no credible evidence linking acetaminophen to autism.”
She added: “We stand with the many public health and medical professionals who have reviewed this science and agree. We will continue to explore all options to protect the health interests of the American women and children.”
