Autistic Women Push Back Against Tylenol-Autism Link | JQJO

Dating expert Jennifer Cook and other autistic women are speaking out against claims by President Trump and others linking acetaminophen use during pregnancy to autism. These individuals feel blamed and marginalized, highlighting historical underdiagnosis of autism in women. They emphasize that the link between Tylenol and autism is unproven and that such claims divert attention from providing essential resources and support for the autistic community. Many autistic women require medication like Tylenol due to conditions such as joint hypermobility, and they fear the narrative shift will further stigmatize autistic individuals and their mothers.
