If your child has is on the autism spectrum, it is NOT because you took Acetaminophen while you were pregnant.

ACETAMINOPHEN. DOES. NOT. CAUSE. AUTISM.

There’s no proven causal link. There is NOT.

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today.

Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943.

Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s.

Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

I lost my Mom to pancreatic cancer when I was 19. She was only 47.

My grandmother also died from it at 53.

Ugh Laurie was supposed to be the one that stayed cool.

I'm afraid that humans simply can't stand the pain of having been wrong about this genocide, and that that their efforts to avoid the horror of self-reflection is having&will have horrific consequences. If I prayed, I'd pray for the ability to face myself, even when I've been catastrophically wrong.
