Kennedy confirms HHS is on track to reveal causes of autism in September
Kennedy also repeated his stance that outside factors, such as environmental factors or vaccines, are responsible for the rise in cases
By
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.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
