US President Donald Trump is not a doctor, but he played one on television on Monday and eliminated a stream of unproven medical demands, many of them lacking evidence of how to reduce the degree of autism.
Trump repeatedly urged pregnant women to avoid Tylenol, widely used painkillers, the active ingredient of which is acetaminophene, contrary to the long -term leadership of the American university of obstetricians and gynecologists, which considers acetaminophen safe during pregnancy, as shown in the associated press.

He even went so far that he leaned on when children should and should not have painkillers, although they had no medical data.
In addition, the last nail in the coffin was Trump, a connection between autism and acetaminophen, known worldwide as paracetamol. With increasing urgency, he repeated the warning, “Don’t take Tylenol.”
Which company does Tylenol?
Tylenol, one of the most used over -the -counter medicinal patients containing acetaminophene, produces Kenva.
Tylenol was first introduced in 1955 by McNeil Laboratories as Tylenol Elixir for Children, which meant the beginning of what would become the best -selling American relief from pain. Kenva is now an independent US consumer health society and was previously a consumer care division of Johnson & Johnson. Its portfolio includes household brands such as Band-Aid, Neutrogen, Listerine, Aveeno and Benadryl.

From 14 July 2025, Kirk Perry was appointed temporary director of Kenva after the resignation of Thibaut Mongon, who resigned in the middle of the internal operating review and left the Board of Directors, as stated today.
Kenva, however, firmly rejected any connection between drug and autism.
In its statement, the company warned that discouragement from discouraging Tylenol during pregnancy could leave expectant mothers who face dangerous fever or turn to less studied and potentially more risky alternatives.
It should be noted that the FDA itself notes on its website that it has not found clear evidence connecting the appropriate use of acetaminophene in pregnancy with negative results of pregnancy or developmental problems in children.

Some studies have proposed a possible link between the use of acetaminophene during pregnancy and the increased risk of autism, but many other did not support this connection.
On Monday, the coalition of scientists from autism noted that while the diagnoses of autism increased, the use of acetaminophene during pregnancy remained relatively stable and questioned doubts about any causal relationship. (Acetaminophen is widely known outside the US as paracetamol.)
Meanwhile, the Society for Medicine of Fetal Medicine warns that leaving fever is not treated-especially in the first trimester, it can increase the risk of miscarriage, premature birth and other complications, emphasizing the importance of safe fever control during pregnancy.

On Monday, the FDA also announced that it was taking initial steps to try to approve the metabolite of folic acid called leukovorin as a treatment option for some people with autism. It is based on the theory that some people have too little folate, the form of vitamin B in the brain and that giving them more could alleviate some symptoms, reported etc.
Kenva firmly rejected any connection between drug and autism.
Women are already said to take folic acid before conception and during pregnancy, as it reduces the chances of certain congenital defects, advice that could help reduce the risk of autism, Taner-Flusberg said.
