Acetaminophen use linked to ADHD and Autism

Hi all,

I'm only posting this because this is a new concerning topic that I think everyone should know about.  There was a Danish study recently published which linked prenatal exposure of acetaminophen (Tylenol) to increased risks of developing ADHD/Autism.  Please don't take my word for it though and avoid using it altogether since the benefits outweigh the risks if you have a fever, but I encourage everyone to google it and do your own research.

Glad now I cant take tyenol. I have had to suffer through migraines and the pain of extractions and root canals during my pregnancy :(

Was it the MMR?  I also believe somewhat in the link with vaccines.  I mean, who knows what the actual reason is, it'll probably be found out 50 years from now when medication testing has been fine-tuned enough to detect those bad side effects.

Don't know any info about this. I truly believe its from the vaccine my son received when he was 2 years old. The day he got the shot he got a high fever and had a seizure. From that day on he started to have autistic behaviors.
