Brittany Cartwright is speaking out after President Donald Trump suggested a link between Tylenol and autism during a White House briefing on Monday, September 22. "Autism was recorded before Tylenol was ever invented. There are many children on the spectrum who never had vaccines or whose mothers didn't take Tylenol while pregnant," Cartwright, 36, commented on an Instagram post containing footage from Trump's briefing. "The word 'virtually' is used many times here because there are obviously still cases of autism in those communities as well," she continued. "I am thankful autism is being looked into and hopefully someday we can learn more, but our children are wonderful and deserve better than misinformation by our own government." Trump, 79, linked the use of Tylenol, a brand name for acetaminophen, among pregnant women with an increased risk of autism on Monday. However, many health authorities and organizations around the world rejected the president's claims. Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright's Quotes About Coparenting Son Cruz "The World Health Organization (WHO) emphasizes that there is currently no conclusive scientific evidence confirming a possible link between autism and use of acetaminophen (also known as paracetamol) during pregnancy," the World Health Organization said in a statement on Wednesday, September 24. The WHO statement continued, "Extensive research has been undertaken over the past decade, including large-scale studies, looking into links between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and autism. At this time, no consistent association has been established." Tylenol's parent company, Kenvue, said in a statement on Monday, "We believe independent, sound science clearly shows that taking acetaminophen does not cause autism. We strongly disagree with any suggestion otherwise and are deeply concerned with the health risk this poses for expectant mothers." Cartwright has previously opened up about her son Cruz's autism diagnosis. The Valley star shares Cruz, 4, with her estranged husband, Jax Taylor. Brittany Cartwright Gives Update on Son Cruz After Autism Diagnosis "He crawled early, he walked early. He was talking, he was saying, 'Mommy,' 'Daddy,'" Cartwright shared in an April interview with People. "Then, as he got closer to 2, we started noticing that he was regressing in his speech. He stopped talking almost completely." Cartwright said that Cruz is mostly nonverbal but will "sporadically say different words." She added, "It can be difficult because I've never heard him say, 'I love you.' But he is so loving, and he shows me he loves me every single day. He is such a mommy's boy."
