(NewsNation) — Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s upcoming report on autism is expected to link the use of Tylenol during pregnancy and folate deficiencies as causes for autism.
The report being prepared is expected to include a review of previous autism research, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal.
It is also expected to suggest that the use of a medication derived from folate could be used to treat autism.
Autism has been a focus for Kennedy, who has questioned the increase in diagnosis, with 1 in 31 aged 8 affected by the condition. He has vowed to find a cause for the condition that many researchers say is largely genetic.
