The autism thing is as thin of an excuse as Colbert being canceled because of ratings, but I understand that because I’m familiar with it.

Did the owner of Tylenol say they thought medicine should be available for poor people or something? Why is Orange Hitler so antiTy all of a sudden?

    I’m no expert, but from what I’ve found, there was a study that saw higher traces of acetaminophen in autistic children and their mothers.

    Now, to be clear, the authors of that study NEVER CLAIMED THAT TYLENOL CAUSED AUTISM. They discovered and reported the correlation, and their conclusion was that it should be looked into further. Again, not to determine a casual relationship, but to investigate things like: what kind of pain those mothers were experiencing to require taking Tylenol, and if that could be used as an early warning sign for autism. Additional studies have been done since then that show no signs of Tylenol causing autism.
