The over-the-counter drug has been used in Tylenol and many other other widely used medications for decades as a pain and fever reliever during pregnancy.
Donald Trump said Monday the Food and Drug Administration approved a chemotherapy drug called leucovorin as a treatment to alleviate symptoms of autism, despite little evidence that the medication works.
Trump also said the administration is issuing a warning to doctors not to recommend acetaminophen — the active ingredient in Tylenol and other widely used medications — for pregnant women, claiming it may be linked to autism in children.
Trump had been teasing the announcement for days, as Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and other health officials have pledged to determine the cause of the developmental disorder by September.
Someone must be getting kickbacks for leucovorin.

Findings In this population-based study, models without sibling controls identified marginally increased risks of autism and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) associated with acetaminophen use during pregnancy. However, analyses of matched full sibling pairs found no evidence of increased risk of autism (hazard ratio, 0.98), ADHD (hazard ratio, 0.98), or intellectual disability (hazard ratio, 1.01) associated with acetaminophen use.
