During a Cabinet meeting in April, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. vowed to announce the causes of autism by September. Days before the calendar turns to that month, Kennedy reinforced that message.
Kennedy noted in a Cabinet meeting on Aug. 26 that an autism study he initiated in April had uncovered “interventions” that are “almost certainly causing” the disorder.
