Acetaminophen use during pregnancy is potentially related to the rise in neurodivergent births.

Infact verdict: Mixed (50/100).

Acetaminophen use during pregnancy may slightly increase the risk of neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism and ADHD, but the evidence is not conclusive. It is still recommended as a first-line pain reliever during pregnancy by medical guidelines. More research is needed to provide a definitive causal link.
