“President Donald Trump and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. challenged us to break down the walls between our agencies so we can rapidly address the health crises facing the American people. Today, we announce an approach to provide relief for children on the autism spectrum. This administration’s bold action — opening the door to the first FDA-recognized treatment for autism, confronting environmental and medical risk factors, and investing in groundbreaking research — follows the science, restores trust and will deliver hope to millions of families. The nearly five-fold increased prevalence of autism in recent decades demands a rapid response — with prompt research and by acting on information as it becomes available.” (09/23/25)
