Summary
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.
