📩 Contact us: talkingwithdocs@gmail.com In this episode, doctors explore the recent debate about acetaminophen use during pregnancy and whether it’s linked to autism. Two major studies published in 2024 and 2025 reached very different conclusions, and we break them down so you can understand the evidence yourself. We explain how acetaminophen works, why it’s commonly recommended during pregnancy, and the difference between correlation and causation when it comes to autism research.
