The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) latest Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network survey found that 1 in 31 children has autism.
President Donald Trump has tasked Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and a global team of scientists with uncovering the cause behind the alarming rise in autism rates in the United States, promising results by September. The initiative is part of Trump’s “Make America Healthy Again” campaign, driven by a newly signed executive order to investigate chronic childhood illnesses including autism and asthma.
