RFK Jr. and Trump Tease Major Autism Study Findings

Autism Prevalence and Concerns

• ⚠️ The prevalence of autism is described as a "tremendous horror show" with rapidly increasing numbers.
• 📈 In 1970, the incident rate was less than 0.7 per 10,000 children, based on a large epidemiological study in Wisconsin.
• 📊 Current estimates show a rate of 1 in 31 children, with California reporting 1 in 19, and specifically 1 in 12.5 for boys.

Upcoming Announcements and Potential Causes

• 🗓️ Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Donald Trump are planning a major announcement regarding autism findings in September.
• 🎯 They are identifying specific interventions that are believed to be "almost certainly causing autism."
• 💡 Trump suggests that the dramatic increase in autism rates points to something artificial causing it, such as a drug or other external factor.
