SS; Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Thursday during a meeting of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet that he expects his agency will soon know the cause of the “autism epidemic.”
“By September we will know what has caused the autism epidemic,” Kennedy said. “And we’ll be able to eliminate those exposures.” Characterizing autism as an epidemic will likely anger many, especially those in the autism community who do not view being autistic as something to be eradicated, though for others, it may be welcome.
The CDC says that some people with autism spectrum disorder have “a known difference, such as a genetic condition. Other causes are not yet known.”
“Scientists believe there are multiple causes of ASD that act together to change the most common ways people develop,” the agency says.
Kennedy made the remarks in passing as part of an update on his work since joining Trump’s Cabinet in February.
“We’ve launched a massive testing and research effort that’s going to involve hundreds of scientists from around the world,” Kennedy said of the effort to find the cause of autism.
After Kennedy’s remarks, Trump said without any basis that autism could be caused by “something artificial” and “maybe it’s a shot.”
“There will be no bigger news conference than that…,” Trump said. “If you can come up with that answer where you stop taking something, you stop eating something, or maybe it’s a shot. But something’s causing it.”

He already wrote an entire book on the connection between autism and the MMR vaccine. He already knows. No doubt he comes out and blames it on McDonalds now that he’s obviously bought and paid for.

Have they ever done a study on the prevalence of autism in children breastfed to around 2 years old or later vs those not breastfed or a mix of breastfed and formula?
Ketones are very important for brain development and they are not and or barely present in formula fed children vs breastfed.
Researchers also found that breastfed babies produce more ketones than formula fed babies in the newborn period, and that is beneficial for brain development (4, 5).

I foresee multiple causes. Parents age, maternal prenatal blood sugar, prenatal viral infections / fevers, hereditary / genetics, vaccine induced toxicity or neurological reactions, and environmental factors

Really shows how much he knows about science and medicine that he put a timeline on when the “discovery” will be made.

I don’t think there is an autism problem, I think there’s a linguistic inflation problem

It doesn’t matter. The brainwashed portion of society won’t believe a word he says. They’ll be too busy spray painting swastikas on EVs to notice.

There is a correlation between having diabetes during pregnancy and autism. If you look in the dramatic increase in obesity it’s hard not to think this is part of the issue.

Just before vaccination is required.

Right after the first Epstein arrest, right?

Finding the cause and taking action to remove it from our environment should be the #1 goal of people with an interest in autism. This is great news.
