It’s hard to ignore a link when the n is this large. A 15% greater chance of getting autism is very significant.
A 2024 study of nearly 2.5 million children initially found:
* Autism by age 10: 1.53% with prenatal exposure versus 1.33% without * ADHD: 2.87% versus 2.46%

This is the study you are referring to. I will leave it to others to judge your comment.
> Acetaminophen use during pregnancy was not associated with children’s risk of autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability in sibling control analysis. This suggests that associations observed in other models may have been attributable to familial confounding.
To spell it out: the study’s point (sorry, “Conclusions and Relevance”) is to explain away the very data GP cites?
