RFK Jr says autism is an epidemic: “They’ll never go on dates or pay taxes”
During an April 16 press conference, Robert F. Kennedy Jr claimed autistic children “will never pay taxes” or “go on dates.”
His remarks follow new CDC data showing rising autism diagnoses — though experts say that’s due to better awareness and diagnostics, not an actual spike in cases.
RFK Jr continues to push the idea of an “autism epidemic,” despite criticism from medical professionals and autism advocates.
