With the Trump administration effectively shutting down federal oversight, special education is likely to deteriorate. Autistic kids will suffer.

RFK Jr. has long pushed the lie that measles vaccinations cause autism. The US is about to lose its measles elimination status. Heckuva job, Bobby.

"I feel very badly." Trump is revealing one of two things: 1. He doesn't understand how adverbs work. 2.His fingertips are numb.
Trump on Prince Andrew and the Epstein scandal: "I feel very badly. I mean, it's a terrible thing that's happened to the family. That's been a tragic situation. And it's too bad. I feel badly for the family."

Maybe leucovorin will ease some symptoms in some autistic kids. But we autism parents remember a long history of "miracle treatments" such as secretin, lupron, and chelation. They have never lived up to their billing and have often proved harmful. See link in 1st comment.

Strong Marie Antoinette vibe too
Trump and Rubio at the Mar-a-Lago Halloween Party, on day 31 of the shutdown. Official theme is Gatsby and ‘a little party never killed nobody’, we’re told.

Study: children born to mothers who had COVID-19 while pregnant face an elevated chance of autism. Contrary to RFK Jr's lies, vaccines don't cause autism. And in this case, they might help prevent it.

A few days after Trump posted a dire warning about Tylenol and the Texas AG sued its manufacturer, RFK Jr. admitted that the evidence "is not sufficient to say it definitely caused autism." Link in first comment.

Casey Means, Trump's choice for surgeon general, has given credit to the debunked and dangerous notion that vaccines cause autism.
