Kennedy Jr., the boob whom the squatter currently occupying the White House picked to be Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As Kennedy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsnationnow.com\/health\/rfk-jr-rising-autism-diagnosis-data-cdc\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Link opens in new window (put it)\">put it<\/a>: \u201cBy September, we will know what has caused the autism epidemic and we\u2019ll be able to eliminate those exposures.\u201d In response, the squatter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/peter-marks-fda-official-rfk-jr-false-hope-on-autism\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Link opens in new window (crowed)\">crowed<\/a>: \u201cThere will be no bigger news conference than that, if you can come up with that answer, where you stop taking something, you stop eating something, or maybe it\u2019s a shot, but something\u2019s causing it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s true that autism rates in children have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/mmwr\/volumes\/74\/ss\/ss7402a1.htm\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Link opens in new window (risen)\">risen<\/a> from one in 150 in the year 2000 to one in thirty-one in 2022, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But Kennedy\u2019s wild goose chase and the squatter\u2019s cheering from the sidelines just goes to show what fools they both are\u2014not just about autism but disability, too.<\/p>\n<p>The Autism Self Advocacy Network (ASAN) <a href=\"https:\/\/autisticadvocacy.org\/2025\/04\/trump-and-kennedy-spouting-dangerous-autism-misinformation\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Link opens in new window (calls)\">calls<\/a> Kennedy\u2019s claim \u201cuntrue, impossible, and ableist,\u201d saying HHS clearly \u201cintends to produce rigged and fraudulent research that supports Kennedy and Trump\u2019s pre-existing beliefs in a connection between autism and vaccines.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>ASAN is referring to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.factcheck.org\/2023\/08\/scicheck-what-rfk-jr-gets-wrong-about-autism\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Link opens in new window (public statements)\">public statements<\/a> that Kennedy has made professing his belief that vaccines can cause autism. On the group\u2019s website, a statement <a href=\"https:\/\/autisticadvocacy.org\/2024\/11\/asan-opposes-robert-f-kennedy-jr-s-nomination-to-head-hhs\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Link opens in new window (reads)\">reads<\/a>: \u201cIn spite of decades of replicable research proving that this is not true, some people, like Kennedy, continue to perpetuate the myth. These lies do very real harm to the autistic community . . . . By working to prevent childhood vaccination, he effectively communicates the message that living as an autistic person is a worse fate than dying of measles or pertussis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Like others who are knowledgeable about this issue, ASAN is not surprised to see the diagnosis rate for autism increase, <a href=\"https:\/\/autisticadvocacy.org\/2025\/04\/asan-statement-on-updated-autism-diagnosis-numbers-amidst-attacks-on-autistic-people\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Link opens in new window (citing)\">citing<\/a> \u201cbetter recognition and diagnosis of autism across the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But ASAN objects to more than just Kennedy\u2019s efforts to pinpoint some other reason for the increase in autism diagnoses. As the group <a href=\"https:\/\/autisticadvocacy.org\/2025\/04\/trump-and-kennedy-spouting-dangerous-autism-misinformation\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Link opens in new window (said)\">said<\/a> in a recent web post: \u201cIt is disgusting that Secretary Kennedy is calling for efforts he believes will reduce the amount of autistic people who exist, whether through a \u2018cure\u2019 or \u2018prevention.\u2019 Our existence is not a \u2018cataclysm,\u2019 as he called autism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rather, the group continued, \u201cautistic and other disabled people belong in our society. To claim otherwise, and to speak as though our existence is some kind of calamity that must be eliminated, is a form of eugenics.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I remember that, back in my younger days, autistic people were lumped into the category of \u201cretarded.\u201d That\u2019s the lazy diagnostic Siberia to which certain disabled people were banished so that they could more easily be written off as hopeless and denied resources that would allow them to be included.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, our collective view of what autism is and the value of autistic people has evolved greatly. What looks to Kennedy and the squatter like an alarming increase in the occurrence of autism is probably just a more accurate understanding of the prevalence of autism.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s just another example of how the squatter and his henchmen are trying to drag us all in reverse.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mark your calendar for September, exact date to be determined.
