How can he claim that if he doesn’t already have the evidence?

He’s announcing the launch of a research effort. Probably should have qualified it somewhat...

Taking a guess here... awareness and more testing for it.

RFK jr. better be ready to talk, come September.
He has got many of us quite curious on what will be said.
What’s stopping him from giving that opinion right now?

They might already know what is causing it but it’s been suppressed.

Increased awareness and testing accounts for about 25% of the increase, mainly for marginal cases that might have been missed in the past.

But the severe cases we only learned about in health class, we never saw it ourselves in the 70s and 80s.

But when you see someone with severe and/or non-verbal autism it’s next to impossible to miss, especially if you’re used to working with these people.

(I helped with special needs students at our church)

Older parents = more chance for gene mutation.

Too many boastful, premature announcements.

Overdiagnosis.

Every child in America must now be either (a) gifted and talented; or, (b) disabled and entitled to extra time with exams, put on medication, etc., etc.

Yes, exactly. If you have your bomb, drop your bomb. No weekend teases, summer-long teases...

Just tell us.

“In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that one in 36 children are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), with boys being diagnosed 3.8 times more often than girls.” I don’t know why that last stat is.

Because he DOES have the evidence? Just needs to compile and format it properly, probably.

I work in a class now with physically and mentally handicapped children. It seems to me that many retarded children are autistic as well, maybe half?

These are the older children - the ones with less severe problems have transitioned to other schools as they grow.

People with Down syndrome are not all social butterflies. They can be autistic too.

But the child with normal and above intelligence who is outright autistic, not just “on the spectrum,” nerdy, socially awkward, peculiarly focused? My generation knew the nerds, sure, but not the outright autistic.

Is this going to be a study on vaccines and autism led by a key figure (discredited researcher, activist) in the anti-vaccine community ?? This could get interesting for other reasons. Even the NIH director doesn’t believe there is a connection.

“ disabled ”

There a large number of kids with real issues.
Something is causing it.
Could be anything .
A chemical in carpet or something in plywood in houses.
It’s real .
But yes some parents are too quick to diagnose normal boy behavior as abnormal .
Screens don’t help.
