The mainstream media has ignored the autism “epidemic,” Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Tuesday at his first press conference.
“This epidemic denial has become a feature in the mainstream media,” Kennedy said.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s latest study found that the prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnoses had increased from 1 in 36 eight-year-olds to 1 in 31 from 2020 to 2022, according to figures published by the CDC on Tuesday.
