Now the latest study, a scientific review by researchers at Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, has been swept into a larger, politically fraught debate about the causes of autism, spurred in part by the views of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Health and Human Services secretary.
There has been speculation that Mr. Kennedy may cite Tylenol use during pregnancy, among other environmental factors, as a potential cause of autism in an upcoming report.
The review that began the latest round of controversy, which examined 46 existing studies, eight of them looking specifically at autism, found there was evidence for a connection between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and neurodevelopmental disorders.
