B-Man Posted April 17 Posted April 17 RFK Jr. Exposes a Chilling New Autism Reality HHS Secretary RFK Jr. just held a press conference to respond to the CDC’s latest numbers on autism rates in the United States. The findings were impossible to ignore, and Kennedy didn’t sugarcoat just how dire the situation had become. He revealed that 1 in 31 American children are now diagnosed with autism. For boys, the numbers are even worse—1 in 20. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/04/rfk-jr-exposes-chilling-new-autism-reality/

But a DIAGNOSIS of ASD is subsidized. My kid is struggling in school. Has trouble making friends. If he's just a fairly dim child (think the left third of the bell curve), well, I just have a problem. If he's the same kid with an ASD diagnosis, I qualify for: - government payments for raising a disabled child - Special Ed classes/individualized attention to try to get him up to grade level - If he's able to use that to pull himself up toward the fat part of the bell curve, he gets 50% more time to take the SAT. Or maybe a private room and extra time to take the SAT. - a whole host of other "disabled" benefits, including in the future workplace Do other countries that don't similarly subsidize an ASD diagnosis show a similar increase in autism rates? Even when they took are inundated with microplastics and MMR vaccines and whatever? There's also a definitional problem as the Asperger's (a banned term, as Dr Asperger was apparently a Nazi) kids get lumped into ASD. Those with Asperger's often prefer to think of it as neurodiversity. In other words, not a "bad" thing, but just a different way of processing information that could make you the world's richest man (Musk) or a great success in some other field of endeavor that requires a different kind of mental processing. And there are clear genetic causes/susceptibilities, as well as other demographic effects (delayed child fathering, the old sperm thing) Until these economic/incentive-based explanations and definitional problems are resolved, I prefer the simplest explanation: there is no reason to go on a wild goose chase for environmental causes or to ring the alarm bells.
B-Man Posted April 23 Posted April 23 RFK Jr., FDA unveil 8 harmful dyes that will soon be phased out of US food supply — here’s what could be next by Ryan King The dye is cast Eight harmful petroleum-based synthetic dyes will soon be phased out of the American food supply, according to plans unveiled Tuesday by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary. Over the coming months, the FDA will revoke authorization for two synthetic food colorings — Citrus Red No. 2 and Orange B — and collaborate with the food industry to remove six other synthetic dyes. “For the last 50 years, American children have increasingly been living in a toxic soup of synthetic chemicals,” Makary declared during the announcement at HHS Tuesday. https://nypost.com/2025/04/22/us-news/rfk-jr-fda-will-phase-out-8-petroleum-based-dyes-in-food/ 1

The Frankish Reich Posted yesterday at 03:17 PM Posted yesterday at 03:17 PM If you care about autism spectrum disorder and its causes (and don't just want to make political points), here's a good starting point. tl;dr: mostly the effect of redefinition/increased likelihood of getting an ASD diagnosis: https://www.cremieux.xyz/p/whats-the-deal-with-autism-rates?r=62ptu&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web So many aspects of normal child—and particularly male—behavior have been turned into issues that demand psychiatric attention, and this has been done intentionally. I am actually awestruck by the fact that RFK Jr. has not fired the head of the Child Psychiatry Branch of the National Institutes of Mental Health, one Judith Rapoport, who was once quoted as saying: I'll call a kid a zebra if it will get him the educational services I think he needs. To most people, admitting that you’ll lie to get someone diagnosed with a condition because you see a need should be a cause for alarm. Would you trust the psychiatrist telling you they’ll lie to get you services? Maybe, because you want those services, but would you like to pay for the same treatment for a million other kids? And if the next year, none of the kids deserve that treatment but they’re getting diagnosed anyway, do you want to foot the bill? That the diagnostic situation has now evolved to the point where too many people are receiving services they do not need is now so well-evidenced that debate is hard to fathom and cutting the fat is more than warranted. I wish RFK Jr. all the luck in the world in these efforts, and if he wants a succinct, well-supported report on how to do the cuts without cutting care for the kids who really need it, he has my number.
B-Man Posted yesterday at 03:30 PM Posted yesterday at 03:30 PM Health Secretary Kennedy Is Right to Focus the Conversation on Autism Lynne White (the CEO of Team Awesomism.) Autism isn’t a red or blue issue, it’s a human issue. The sad part, though, about much of this is that too many people are either making it about a political agenda or are making it about money. When now-HHS Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr. came out a couple of years ago, prior to being put in as Secretary, and said we need to look into Autism, I was thrilled. I’ve had my own opinions on why I think some of the rise in Autism has happened. We all have our opinions, and we’re all entitled to them. The actual reasons for the rise are above my pay grade, and unlike many others, I’m not willing to continuously push one theory or another. I will leave it at this—I believe it is a lot more complicated than people want to admit. As the mother of a 25-year-old, soon-to-be 26-year-old autistic son, I am deeply interested in changing the perception and the agenda towards Autism. I don’t just use my words. I actually am a full-time Autism Activist. I have watched too many people struggle in the autism community, and it isn’t always the physical side of it. Sometimes it’s the loneliness of autistic adults or autistic teenagers. Sometimes it’s a family member who is struggling to do what is right, all while trying to keep food on the table. The incredibly high unemployment rate. I could go on for hours about different things I’ve seen happen. I saw people on both sides of the conversation debating and analyzing every word of the Secretary’s Press Conference. It was startling to me how people will get so upset about certain words, instead of focusing on the fact that he wants to help. This shows how important this issue is. https://redstate.com/redstate-guest-editorial/2025/04/29/health-secretary-kennedy-is-right-to-focus-the-conversation-on-autism-n2188453
