Researchers have found a link between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and a heightened risk of ADHD and autism in children. Newborns with the highest exposure to acetaminophen in the womb were almost 3 times more likely to exhibit symptoms of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) as children and over 3.5 times more likely to develop autism spectrum disorder (ASD). 

Are Tylenol Autism & ADHD Lawsuits Real? Yes 

ADHD is marked by a pattern of hyperactivity and impulsive behavior that can be challenging and disruptive for children and parents alike. Autism spectrum disorder is a complex developmental disorder that affects how a child (or adult) behaves, interacts with those around them, communicates, and learns. 

For a frequently used drug like Tylenol, these are serious side effects to be aware of, especially when they have the potential to disrupt the life of your child. 

Tylenol can have serious side effects for a moderate pain relieving drug. If taken in excess, Tylenol can cause a myriad of issues some of which can be quite serious.
