Acetaminophen use during pregnancy does not increase child’s chance of having autism, study finds
The link reported in prior studies likely reflects confounding factors, which sibling-matched controls in the new work address.
The latest developments in autism research.
Data sleuths have flagged apparent errors in the study, which was led by neuroscientist Thomas Südhof.

The U.K.-based genetics study launched the consultation more than a year ago in response to fierce criticism from autistic self-advocates.
The findings solidify the idea that autism-linked mutations affect brain activity by way of several key shared mechanisms.
The journal’s publisher flagged problems in 11 papers that were part of a special issue on assistive technology in special education.
The finding confirms past research that links autism to early death, but it also suggests that the life expectancy gap may be smaller than previously thought.
A massive new set of interaction maps illuminates especially high convergence in protein networks related to autism and shows how mutations could disrupt those networks.
The protein products of ANK2 and SCN2A interact to regulate dendritic excitability.
Random fluctuations in neuronal activity are more variable in a fragile X mouse model than in wildtype mice.
Male pups born to mothers treated with immune-stimulating molecules show autism-like behaviors and, unlike wildtype animals, do not lose memories formed during early life.
Handheld devices promise to bring autism detection home, but many researchers urge caution.
