TL;DR

A comprehensive review using the Navigation Guide methodology indicates that prenatal acetaminophen use is likely associated with an increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD and ASD in children, supported by consistent findings across multiple high-quality studies, though some sibling-controlled studies show null results possibly due to methodological limitations. Caution is advised for pregnant women regarding acetaminophen consumption to protect fetal neurodevelopment.
