Health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced Thursday a new effort to improve autism diagnoses, arguing that the current model is outdated, too time-intensive, and overreliant on professionals with limited availability.
“We are not satisfied simply for describing autism and managing its consequences. We are asking what drives the different forms of autism, and why developmental trajectories differ, why some children regress, and which interventions work for them,” Kennedy said during his keynote address at a conference for Children’s Health Defense, an anti-vaccine organization he previously led.
