Our guest is Dr. Michael Cummings, Vice Chair of Psychiatry at the University at Buffalo School of Medicine. In this in-depth discussion on autism, they tackle recent headlines about a possible link between acetaminophen (Tylenol) use during pregnancy and autism, exploring what the research really says—and what it doesn’t. Dr. Cummings explains the difference between correlation and causation, reviews major studies from Sweden and Japan, and emphasizes the importance of evidence-based guidance for expectant mothers. The conversation also touches on genetic factors, misconceptions, and why listening to your healthcare provider matters.
