The better controlled studies are less likely to find even a small risk,” says Helen Tager-Flusberg, a psychologist who studies autism at Boston University, Massachusetts, “And even then, what we’re talking about is a minor association. … We do not think that taking acetaminophen is in any way contributing to actually causing autism.”

The researchers found no association between acetaminophen and autism using this method — which supports the idea that links found in other studies were really explained by confounding factors.
Another large, high-quality study2 from Japan including over 200,000 children — also using sibling comparisons and published this year — found no link between acetaminophen use in pregnancy and autism.
There is no robust evidence or convincing studies to suggest there is any causal relationship and any conclusions being drawn to the contrary are often motivated, under-evidenced, and unsupported by the most robust methods,” Monique Botha, associate professor in social and developmental psychology at Durham University, UK, said in comments to the Science Media Centre, a UK press office.
That article really isn't saying there a slight risk - it's saying there is NO RISK - so why are you saying there is a slight risk with one type - what have I missed?
If I thought there was a "slight risk" to my child I'd take the pain over that - many mother's would - as well as avoiding all the other stuff in pg we get told (often with surpsingly little evidence).
