RFK Junior says the agency will reveal the reasons of autism in September
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said on Tuesday that he was on his way to detect “interventions”, which “certainly produces autism” and possible ways to address them by September.
In April, Kennedy vowed to find the cause of autism and called it a “epidemic” which “donated the Covid epidemic.”
President Trump asked Kennedy for the update of progress during a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, “Autism is such a great horror show. What is happening in our country and some other countries, but most of our country. How are you doing?”
“We’re doing very well,” Kennedy responded. “In September, we will have announced, interventions, some interference will be discovered, now it is definitely causing autism. And we will be able to address them in September.”
Kennedy has long claimed that environmental factors or vaccines are probably criminal behind the growing rate of autism diagnosis, the research has blocked the research to support it by the Federal authorities. He argued in April that autism should be prevented because autistic people are burdened with their families and society.
Kennedy said, “These kids who will never pay taxes, they will never work, they will never play baseball, they will never write any poems, they will never go out on the date. Many of them will never use a toilet,” said Kennedy. “Autism destroys the family.”
During the Cabinet meeting, Kennedy points to the repetition of environmental reasons for contributing to autism rates, referring to how the diagnosis rate has been significantly jumping since the 1970s.
Trump said, “So, it will artificially happen, which means a drug or something.
According to disease control and resistance centers, 1 out of 31 and 45 adults in the United States have 1 autism, which is significantly higher than 1 in 150 rates a few decades ago. However, according to experts, it was probably the first development of diagnosis due to the improvement of autism detection and it was more due to the expansion of criteria for years. For the first time in autism, it was first diagnosed in 1943.
“The rates of autism without intellectual disability are increasing faster than the diagnosis of autism with intellectual disability, which shows that the group that was missed in the past, creating a larger part of the diagnosis,” said Joe Gras, the director of the Advocacy of the Autistic Self -Advocacy Network.
