BILLINGS - A recent claim by President Donald Trump linking the use of acetaminophen during pregnancy to autism is raising concern among parents and medical professionals in Montana, who warn the claim lacks scientific support and could be harmful.

Kennedy Jr., described autism as an "epidemic" and referenced studies suggesting a potential link between prenatal use of acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol, and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). They blamed the drug for the rising rates of autism diagnosis.
