Harvard sees a potential link, hell it’s the name of the paper: “Using acetaminophen during pregnancy may increase children’s autism and ADHD risk ”.

I think that it might be a real thing is because nobody really knows how acetaminophen even works. All the theories involve influencing the brain‘s chemistry. Who knows, maybe influencing a fetus’s brain chemistry can be bad.

As far as I can tell, none of the author's (Public Health Dean Andrea A. Baccarelli) work has demonstrated anything causal, but rather just some correlation. His testimony in a case against Tylenol in 2023 attempting to link the drug to autism was thrown out by the judge for cherry-picking and misinterpretation of study results.

"Harvard" doesn't see anything. The researchers who conducted a specific study work at Harvard.

And yes, these links exist all over the place. The problem is that we have failed to establish causality 100% of the times we've tried.
