I have to question any science with such a strongly held hypothesis and a deadline.
The changes in the DSM 5, greater awareness for younger kids, and social media telling adults about autism that high masking people may have overlooked, all easily explain the increase in numbers.
I’d be interested to see a trend graph with levels 1, 2, and 3 plotted separately. My hypothesis is that majority of the growth is from level 1, while 3 would be the most stable.
It read that as: "In September, RFK Jr. will officially announce that vaccines cause autism."
It's all "Not The Onion" these days, with these bits from the article the most hilarious/horrifying:
"leading autism organizations have not been consulted about the planned research."
and
"The Department of Health and Human Services has hired David Geier, a man who was once fined by the state of Maryland for practising medicine on a child without a doctor's license and has repeatedly claimed a link between vaccines and autism, to lead the federal research effort."
A Kakistocracy is a government run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens.
> Kennedy has also alarmed some over his hiring of David Geier, who has been described by some as a conspiracy theorist, to research vaccines and autism, and on Thursday Democrats in the US House of Representatives wrote to HHS "to express our urgent concern" over the selection of "a biased and discredited individual".
> Geier is a leading vaccine sceptic who was fined by the state of Maryland for practicing medicine without a medical degree or licence and prescribing dangerous treatments to autistic children.
I think it was this guy, or his dad who was also a kook doctor, that was giving puberty blockers to autistic kids without their parents' knowledge or consent, which is a wild coincidence given other recent culture war controversies about that medication.

Id prefer if he would self test his measles makes you stronger theory
