Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s controversial remarks on autism have sparked mixed reactions from families and advocates. While some view his plans for a comprehensive study on the causes of autism as a necessary step, others believe his comments misrepresent the capabilities of individuals with autism and raise concerns about his credibility. Kennedy has been previously criticized for linking autism to vaccines, despite the consensus among experts denying such a connection. This disconnect highlights the ongoing debates and emotional challenges faced by families with autistic members.
Kennedy has vowed to identify some of the causes of autism, which has been studied for decades, by September.
For some, Kennedy's plan was an overdue recognition of the day-to-day difficulties for families with autistic loved ones.
His comments have splintered a community of millions of people living with autism.
It'd be like standing up and saying you're going to have the cure for cancer in six months.
