Bizarre claim, she's old enough to remember when paracetamol (what she knew as Tylenol) was *not* available at all, then when people couldn't get it without a prescription. And yet there were kids even back then who were known to be autistic and hyperactive--aka ADD/ADHD.

So both conditions pre-exist Tyenol, meaning that it's unlikely to be a major cause of either one. Could paracetamol exacerbate underlying causes for one or the other? Maybe. But it will take a bunch of science to find any connection, if one exists, something these brain dead fools are incapable of.
