  • Resumen

  • About one in 31 children in the U.S. has been identified with autism spectrum disorder, according to CDC data released this month.

    When Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. discussed these findings, he declared that autism is a rapidly growing "epidemic" in the U.S. and vowed to identify the "environmental toxin" he says is to blame.

    Jill Escher is the president of the National Council on Severe Autism, and had both gratitude and criticism for the new initiative.
