Now it seems the Trump administration is keen to make a common household product the culprit – paracetamol. On Monday, Trump claimed that paracetamol usage during pregnancy is associated with ‘a very increased risk of autism, and… it’s not good’. And as an autistic adult, mother to an autistic child, and the owner of two companies that support autistic and ADHD adults, I will not stand by and watch this false narrative unfold without comment. Yet, according to Trump, pregnant people should only be using it when they ‘can’t tough it out’. Autism doesn’t need a culprit.
