I’ve researched fifteenth-century English queens and their landholdings and affinities. Also interested in women’s histories, royal studies, and way too many other things to list here. Passionate about lifelong learning, by the way. Oh, and Buffy rules!

The best research to date found no link between using Tylenol (acetaminophen) during pregnancy and autism. We know this because the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada, as well as their U.S. counterparts, have stated it. What is risky is untreated fevers during pregnancy, which can cause miscarriage, organ malformations, cardiovascular complications, and even autism. If you are pregnant, talk to your doctor about using medications safely, and check out our Guide at GettingHealthy.ca for healthy pregnancy tips.View all comments
