Acetaminophen/Tylenol use during pregnancy was not associated with children’s risk of autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability in sibling control analysis. This suggests associations observed in other, less rigorous analyses may have been attributable to familial confounding (aka erroneous finding):
Acetaminophen Use During Pregnancy and Children’s Risk of Autism, ADHD, and Intellectual Disability
This nationwide cohort study with sibling control analysis examines the association of acetaminophen use during pregnancy with children’s risk of autism, ADHD, and intellectual disability.

Re-upping this. Today's news is incredibly significant and will stop many people from reaching specialized LGBTQ crisis services, but if you are a trans person reading this post, please know that the Trevor Project's direct hotline will remain available to you after the closure of the 988 option.
It's important to note Trevor Project will still provide crisis services through its own hotline — but this decision will reduce access, bc people may know about 988 but not about Trevor Project. In 2024, TP counselors helped ~500k people, of which 231k came through the 988 line, a spokesman said.
