The Trump administration has initiated an investigation into a potential correlation between autism spectrum disorder and the use of acetaminophen during pregnancy. Officials issued guidelines emphasizing the importance of avoiding acetaminophen use unless a pregnant woman experiences fever. A supplemental drug, previously considered a potential treatment for autism, has been identified as a focus of scrutiny. The investigation involves reviewing existing data and consulting with medical experts to determine if there is a statistically significant connection between the two. The purpose is to assess potential risks to pregnant women and their developing infants.
