I have a 17 yr old daughter diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and two sons with adhd 19 and 14. I was told the only think I could take for headaches and pain while pregnant was tylenol.

I am a migraine sufferer, and 2 of my 4 children were diagnosed with ADHD, one I have always suspected to be autistic and a 3rd who has not been diagnosed, but exhibits ADD sx’s as well as a sensory integration or processing d/o. All but one are all adults now, but I took a lot of Tylenol during these pregnancies because that is the only thing they would allow me to take for my migraines.

I have an 11 year old who was diagnosed with ADHD since he was 5 years old.

I have three boys all of them have been diagnose with ADHD but one of them have ADHD/ODD they also take medication and attend community counseling service I was required to take Tylenol while I was pregnant and also with all three of my pregnancy

I have the same story as the rest of these ladies. 3 little ones 5 year old and 3 year old B/G twins…that I strongly believe have ADHD and was only told to take Tylenol during my pregnancy for my aches and pains.

I was given Tylenol by my doctor she said it was all I can take I was a high risk patient my son has autism and Adhd both. He has to have 24 hr care around the clock he doesn’t comprehend and he’s very hyperactive. My husband and I work with him daily and he does ABA he still needs speech therapy we’ve been on a waiting list for 4 yrs.

My son was diagnosed around 5/6 yo. I was told I was only allowed to take Tylenol or generic. I worked a lot and was always on my feet. I took a lot while pregnant my entire pregnancy. He’s now 12 and finally off his ADHD medicine.

I have 2 kids one was diagnosed with Autism and the other with ADHD. I also was advised by doctor to take Tylenol for pain. One I took throughout whole pregnancy and the other part of pregnancy.

During my pregnancy I took tylenol for pain. My 19 yo son was diagnosed at age 3 and is nonverbal, severely affected.

The only medication my doctors said I could take was tylenol while pregnant. Baby tylenol and children’s tylenol was also prescribed and recommended for my children. Two of my boys both have adhd, and one on the autism spectrum scale. My oldest son who is now 19 has had adhd since he was small and on the autism spectrum for about 4-5 yrs now diagnosed by his psychiatrist. He has failed all middle school and all of high school. He just failed his 2nd yr of 12th grade. He doesn’t act his age, but more like he’s 3-4 yrs younger. Why am I just hearing about this claim through Facebook, when the claim is overwith?

Both of my sons have ADHD and had to take medication along with having to get an IEP. It’s really unfair for those of us with adult children that suffer from this are excluded.

I just finished talking to an attorney on the case and I qualified for legal representation. My son finally was diagnosed, due the the prior doctor not wanting to say it was autism spectrum disorder. My son is 9 years old. I was told I could only take that and that it was safe. They also did not want to diagnose me with Pre-eclampsia but I had it. On top of my water breaking and not believing me for 2 weeks and causing complications before and during labor.

Call a lawyer and get on them.

I have autism and my mom took Tylenol often

My 30 year old son has severe ADD and was in ECE throughout school. He has problems with employment and has received job placement through KY VOC. Rehab. My 27 year old we were told had Aspergers by his pediatrician, but he had no problems in school. My 22 year old had dysgraphia, which they labeled SLD in school and he received ECE services throughout school. NOW I hear that Tylenol can increase these conditions! This is the first that I’m hearing about this, and I took Tylenol throughout my pregnancies for my back and pelvic pain and for migraines. My doctors recommended it, and told me it was safe! Neither I nor my husband were in ECE, so I believe this could be our answer as to why ALL of our children have these problems!

Before everyone freaks out, it’s important to know there were a lot of flaws in this study that requires further investigation. Due to memory error on behalf of the mothers, the study only took into account something like “rarely used,” “occasionally used,” and “commonly used.” It also didn’t take into account the reasons why the medicine was being used. In fact, a 2012 study suggested that the reasons Tylenol is commonly used may contribute to a child’s chances of developing neurodivergencies. So basically, we need more information, but if you just want to squeeze out a few extra bucks, hey, I ain’t stopping y’all.

Son has ADHD and took Tylenol due to doctor suggesting. He is 9 and got diagnosed when 6.
