Tylenol told him they’d sue his pants off is likely what happened here. It’s only a US brand of a more generic aspirin after all. So which is it, the generic drug, or the brand name that causes autism? Surely can’t be both in this case.
Which is unsurprising. Too many people are unaware how easily you can OD on the stuff because they include it in medicines for other symptoms. Have a cold? Take a sinus medicine (Sudafed + Tylenol), and an expectorant (Mucinex + Tylenol), oh and maybe some Tylenol too for the headache.
All of them have a negative side effects of the prescription is not respected. It seems the toxic dose per kilogram for aspirin is similar to the one for paracetamol, and the one for ibuprofen is about twice more.
Tylenol is not a name brand of Aspirin, it’s a name brand of acetaminophen (paracetamol outside the US). They’re not even the same class of drug. Aspirin is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug and acetaminophen is an analgesic. They each work differently and have separate mechanisms of action. You can even find them sold together (along with caffeine) in a single drug for migraines and severe headaches.

Tylenol is paracetamol, aka acetaminophen, not aspirin.
Which is generally even safer than aspirin and ibuprofen.
Except for liver toxicity. It is actually the most common drug overdose.

If it wasn’t already grandfathered in since before the FDA existed, it probably never would have been approved for sale.
Still doesn’t cause autism though.
