Tylenol (acetaminophen) has not been proven to cause autism.

Some observational studies show statistical associations with autism/ADHD, but confounding factors (fever, genetics, maternal illness) likely explain much of it.

Sibling-control studies find no autism link.

WHO, FDA, and ACOG: no conclusive evidence of causation; safe when used as needed in pregnancy, lowest dose, shortest duration.

Bottom line: Associations exist, but causation is unproven. Tylenol does not have confirmed links to autism.
