Interesting theory; I'm pretty sure my mum was on daily paracetamol for chronic pain, but I'd have to check. I'd like to see more research about it.

Apparently this idea was started in 2008 by a curebie/dentist father named Steve Schultz, who switched from believing that vaccines caused autism to paracetamol as his new culprit theory which he seems to regard as a certainty. So with that certainty in mind, he complied some graphs which he thought proved it.

I think it's highly unlikely.

I'd be more likely to link a trigger through autoimmune stress of vaccines than a drug which use is probably smaller percentage than even the stats for Autismn in worldwide population total. I never heard of that drug. I took nothing but my asthma meds while pregnant (prednisol, abuterol, fluticasone) and my 14th pregnancy with my middle son I had insulin for 3 months .

I'd be more willing to point it to birth control in system at conception.


I' be more willing to believe something the govt put in water...lel. Than a drug so random.


Not to say it is impossible that maybe some children of those mothers were given an effect that created a diagnosis of autism later
