Kennedy first announced a joint research effort to find the root causes of autism in April as part of the Trump administration's "Make America Healthy Again" mission.
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., on Tuesday confirmed to President Donald Trump that his department is still on track to publish information identifying "interventions" that are contributing to a rise in autism.
Kennedy first announced a joint research effort to find the root causes of autism in April as part of the Trump administration's "Make America Healthy Again" mission. One-in-36 children have autism spectrum disorder, according to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report in 2020.
Trump also established a commission in February that would look at everything from the rates of autism and asthma in children to how much medicine is being prescribed to children for ADHD or other conditions.
The update comes after Trump asked Kennedy how the research was going during a Cabinet meeting at the White House, according to The Hill.
“We are doing very well,” Kennedy said. "We will have announcements as promised in September, finding interventions, certain interventions, now that are clearly almost certainly causing autism. And we’re going to be able to address those in September.”
Kennedy also repeated his stance that outside factors, such as environmental factors or vaccines, are responsible for the rise in cases. Health experts, however, have largely cited an increase in awareness of the disorder for the rise in diagnosis, along with a broadening of criteria for the disorder and an improvement in detecting autism.

All of this is true.
But there is something else going on as well. I am seeing far to many kids from decent parents who are non-verbal.
Talking is what humans do.
When we have a significant rise in the number of humans who can not communicate something has gone wrong.
