I took paracetamol in pregnancy and my 13 year old DS is not autistic…

And I googled as @CremeBruhlee suggested but came up with nothing relevant.

MrsFrumble · 24/09/2025 22:46

The only paracetamol I took for my entire first pregnancy were the ones they gave me at the hospital when I arrived to give birth! (Note: paracetamol is not an adequate level of pain relief for a back-to-back labour…) DS still has autism and ADHD.

Interesting that they didn’t go down the route of investigating the link to advanced paternal age. How old was Trump when Barron was born? 🤔

CyanMaker · 24/09/2025 22:54

Did you all see his speech at the U.N.? He had to have help pronouncing the word acetaminophen .He sounded like a raving lunatic complaining about a stopped escalator and a malfunctioning teleprompter. I'm sure all the audience were impressed.

Chris Mason BBC political commentator was talking about this.
How in his first term they were openly laughing at him. Now they all say there too scared to do anything.

Yes my thoughts as well! 🤦‍♀️

Remember this is the guy who said take horse dewormer to cure covid. Your hope is that only his supporters are dumb enough to follow his advice, this removing themselves from the gene pool.

And I’m sorry, all the idiots saying that the pharmaceutical companies should sue him, are - rather obviously - not lawyers. Politicians can’t be sued for lying (indeed in any country, including the UK).

Indeed. I saw that on the anti-vaxxer groups on Facebook I follow for fun - they were even administering Invermectin to their children - and sadly now they seem to refusing to give their kids paracetamol when they’re in pain or have a fever. They clearly didn’t read the study in question; it’s only because Trump said so.

I saw the headline that last time they laughed and this time they were silent. I'm hoping it's not because they were scared but more aghast anyone could be so stupid.

I often disagree with the spin Chris M has on things these days.

Indeed - in correlation studies the paternal age factor raises significant questions (tho both mine are autistic but DH was under 40, as am I and 2 half sisters and all our dads were all under 35 at the time of conception, so I suspect that’s another correlation that may lead nowhere🤷🏽‍♀️)

I'm not suggesting any particular study. I'm am supportive of the coming studies and excited to read the results. Perhaps the placebo group will be babies born of families who were chasing on to vaccinate anyway - I have no idea as those details haven't been released. I

'm surprised that others are angry that scientific studies will be happening. People do get angry or dismissive (crazy anti science, anti vax etc) when people dare to talk about thorough testing of vaccines and it does tend to shut most up for fear of social rejection.

I wasn't calling anyone any names and would never denigrate people who disagree with me.

participants in trials are need to be randomly allocated to intervention or placebo group,

That well known medical expert Donald Trump 🙄
Seriously, what are his advisors on, letting him spout nonsense like this?!

It’s so dangerous. I fear for the women living in the US right now. Under the dictatorship of the crazed orange odious one, it really does increasingly seem like Gilead…

Who'd trust a man who can't use an escalator ?

A non reaction is better.

It's what you do with toddlers.

Gotta be careful though, might get mistaken for Antifa cos there are some of the same letters 😹

I seriously want an "FAF" T shirt 😊

Had to google Antifa! YIKES.

Haha yes, on the tshirts. Myself and my mighty band of felines will start working on this right away. All profits will go to the FAF fund for our new life on whichever planet is deemed suitable (by the felines).

I fear for them too.

I was shocked when I found out a majority of white women voted for Trump. A gross, venal, old sexual abuser.

Plastictreees · 25/09/2025 10:12

@TooTooMuchEverything It seems like some women are voting for him because of his stance on the trans debate. However I could never vote or show support for someone like him just because we aligned on one issue. Especially when it’s blatantly obvious that Trump is a sexual predator and doesn’t give a shit about women or protecting their rights. It’s all game play and pretence with him, a sickening circus.

I'm American and the idea that anyone other than wealthy white men over 70 voted for this compulsive lying/felon/grifter/buffoon/moron/snowflake still boggles my mind

BeHappySloth · 22/09/2025 22:03

I agree, but how was this man allowed to become the most powerful person on the planet?

By people doing nothing to stop it. He should have been in prison long before the election.

Snakebite61 · 25/09/2025 11:03

If anyone is thinking of voting reform, this is what you'll get.
The end of democracy.

Absolutely this. And then having the 4 richest men in America backing him.

And also because there area many mean and/or stupid people in this world, some of whom are one issue voters (as a pp has already mentioned). Grievance voters.

A mere bagatelle for the warm feeling of having got one over on the foreigners though.
