Autism as Presented by RFK Jr.
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has once again stirred controversy—this time with inflammatory claims about autism that have left many families, clinicians, and advocates outraged.
In this episode, we take a closer look at what he actually said, why it's problematic, and what the science really says about the rising number of autism diagnoses in America.
Is there a true increase in cases, or are we just better at recognizing and diagnosing autism across a broader spectrum? What roles do genetics, environment, and awareness play? And what damage can high-profile misinformation do to public understanding and policy?
From a healthcare professional’s perspective, we break down the data, debunk myths, and offer a respectful yet evidence-based counterpoint to RFK’s narrative.
👂 Whether you're a parent, provider, or just trying to make sense of the headlines—this is a conversation worth having.
