RFK Jr. promises to find the “toxic chemicals” causing the autism “epidemic” – and the woke mob is already losing their minds about it.
At a Glance
- HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. vows to compensate families of Americans with severe autism, referring to them as “injured”
- Kennedy suggests approximately 25% of those with autism are severely impacted and cannot live independently
- He has announced plans for new studies to identify environmental toxins he believes are causing autism
- Autism diagnoses have increased to 1 in 31 children by age 8 in 2022, up from 1 in 36 in 2020
- Kennedy’s comments have sparked outrage from autism advocacy groups who labeled his remarks as “ableist”
Finally, Someone in Government is Asking the Forbidden Questions
In a refreshing break from the usual government bureaucrats who refuse to admit there might be a problem with the avalanche of chemicals we’re exposed to daily, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has taken a bold stand on autism. Despite predictable backlash from the perpetually offended, Kennedy is pushing forward with what many families have been demanding for years – an honest investigation into why autism rates continue to skyrocket. While the establishment keeps telling us to ignore the elephant in the room, Kennedy is actually willing to look at environmental factors that might be turning our children’s lives upside down.
Kennedy didn’t mince words at his recent press conference, saying what many have thought but feared to express publicly. The left’s censorship machine immediately kicked into high gear, claiming his statements were “ableist” rather than addressing the substance of his concerns. This isn’t about disparaging anyone – it’s about recognizing that severe autism presents genuine challenges for both individuals and families, and asking why the rates keep climbing. But apparently, in today’s America, even asking questions about public health crises is forbidden if it challenges the preferred narrative of our medical overlords.
The Inconvenient Truth About Severe Autism
Kennedy clarified that his comments were specifically about the approximately 25% of people with autism who face the most severe challenges. “Bottom line, the more than 25% of people who have severe autism will never go on a date, write a poem, live independently, or have a job. We need to identify the exposures that are causing this epidemic and compensate the families of the injured,” Kennedy stated. These aren’t just his opinions – they reflect the reality that many families live with daily. The National Autism Association estimates that around 40% of children with autism do not speak, but heaven forbid we acknowledge this reality.
“They’ll never go out on a date. Many of them will never use a toilet unassisted.” – Kennedy.
After the predictable outrage machine kicked into gear, Kennedy clarified his position, stating: “There are many kids with autism who are doing well. They’re holding down jobs, they’re getting pay checks, they’re living independently. But I was referring specifically to that 25 percent—the group that is nonverbal.” This is just common sense, folks. Acknowledging that severe autism presents significant challenges doesn’t diminish anyone’s humanity – it recognizes reality. But in today’s upside-down world, stating obvious truths is apparently offensive while ignoring problems is considered compassionate.
Following the Science (Unless It Questions the Narrative)
The CDC reports that autism diagnoses have increased dramatically, with one in 31 children now diagnosed by age 8 in 2022, up from one in 36 in 2020. That’s a staggering increase that should have every parent in America demanding answers. But instead of honestly investigating all potential causes, we’re told to accept the convenient explanation that it’s just “better screening” or “broader diagnostic criteria.” Really? That’s the best they can offer while autism rates continue to explode? Kennedy is right to question this dismissive hand-waving that does nothing to help affected families.
“We’re gonna announce a series of new studies to identify precisely what the environmental toxins are that are causing it. This has not been done before.” – Kennedy.
The same establishment that repeatedly tells us to “trust the science” seems terrified of actually doing new science when it might challenge their predetermined conclusions. Kennedy’s promise to identify environmental toxins potentially linked to autism represents actual scientific inquiry – examining evidence without predetermined conclusions. But the powers that be seem determined to shut down any investigation that might implicate corporate interests or government policies. If we truly care about children’s health, shouldn’t we encourage examining all possible factors rather than arbitrarily declaring certain questions off-limits?
