Though another recently published study, identified an association between Autism and fever during pregnancy.
Given that acetaminophen/ paracetamol is often taken to treat a fever.
What could also be looked at, is any possible association. Between Fever during pregnancy and ADHD ?

Good point, eoffg. I'm not aware of any history of ADHD in my family or my husband's, yet our son clearly has it. Although I didn't take acetaminophen for a lengthy period of time, I did come down with some kind of nasty virus and fever that lasted about a week during his pregnancy, and I sometimes wonder if that had anything to do with his diagnosis...

www.popsugar.com/moms/Can-Fevers-During-Pregnancy-Cause-Autism-43637953 says "A new report published this week in Molecular Psychiatry determined that a pregnant woman who had fevers, particularly during her second trimester, was 40 percent more likely to have a child with autism. "Maternal exposure to second-trimester fever was associated with increased autism spectrum disorder risk," the team wrote. Moreso, the study — which surveyed 95,000 children born in Norway after documenting all of the mothers' illnesses during pregnancy — theorized that it's less to do with the bacteria or virus potentially damaging a baby's brain as it is to do with the body's immune response. According to the study's research team, inflammatory chemicals such as cytokines could be crossing the placenta and affecting the developing fetus. Women who took acetaminophen to lower their fevers were less likely to get an autism diagnosis, for instance.
