"Findings. 43 studies were included in the systematic review, and 17 studies in the meta-analysis. When considering sibling comparison studies, paracetamol exposure during pregnancy was not associated with the risk of autism spectrum disorder (OR 0·98, 95% CI 0·93–1·03; p=0·45), ADHD (0·95, 0·86–1·05; p=0·31), or intellectual disability (0·93, 0·69–1·24; p=0·63). There was also no association between paracetamol intake during pregnancy and autism spectrum disorder (OR 1·03, 95% CI 0·86–1·23; p=0·78), ADHD (0·97, 0·89–1·05; p=0·49), or intellectual disability (1·11, 0·92–1·34; p=0·28) when considering only studies at low risk of bias according to QUIPS. This absence of association persisted when considering all studies with adjusted estimates and those with more than 5 years of follow-up."
Title note: "IDs" = "intellectual disabilities"

Where did the idea that it causes autism come from?
And why is it that someone claiming <x> causes autism such a common predictor of quackery?
It's not only autism quackery, he's also "investigating" if cellphones cause cancer.
I write "investigating" because trying to justify your crackpot theories that you've already decided are true isn't true scientific investigation.

RFK jr, to knock the stock price down to enable a hostile takeover
It’s because we need Greenland for our Epstein security, or something. It’s hard to keep up with these clowns.
Protects against acetaminophen!
Well, if nothing else, the study should Make Acetaminophen Great Again.
