Trump makes announcement on autism, apparent link to Tylenol | LIVE

From Global News.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr will join U.S. President Donald Trump, who is expected to make an announcement at the White House on Monday about autism, after commenting over the weekend, “I think we found an answer” to the developmental disorder.

Officials are expected to link the use of pain reliever Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, contrary to medical guidelines that say it is safe to use.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. promised earlier this year to determine the cause of autism by September. That baffled brain experts who say there is no single cause and that the rhetoric appears to ignore decades of science into the genetic and environmental factors that can play a role.

Science has shown that autism is mostly rooted in genetics, with the discovery of several hundred genes that play a role. Those genes can be inherited, even if the parent shows no signs of autism, or mutations can occur as the brain is developing and its rapidly dividing cells make mistakes.
