A March 2023 study found that autism in America is becoming more prevalent among young children. The statistic is so high that if an enemy regime was behind this catastrophic trend we would declare it an act of war.
In 2023, a new study published in the journal Pediatrics analyzed data from more than 4,000 8-year-olds in New York and New Jersey and found that the prevalence of autism has tripled in the last 16 years, Forbes reported.
On Thursday, the CDC released its updated report on the expected prevalence of autism among American children.
The Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network included 11 sites (Arizona, Arkansas, California, Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, Tennessee, Utah, and Wisconsin) that monitored Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) prevalence for 2020.
According to the study, more children of color (Black and Hispanic) than White children are being diagnosed with autism for the first time.
Prevalence via CDC:
- About 1 in 36 children has been identified with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) according to estimates from CDC’s Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network. [Read article]
- ASD is reported to occur in all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups. [Read article]
- ASD is more than 4 times more common among boys than among girls. [Read article]
- About 1 in 6 (17%) children aged 3–17 years were diagnosed with a developmental disability, as reported by parents, during a study period of 2009-2017. These included autism, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, blindness, and cerebral palsy, among others. [Read summary]
According to federal health officials, COVID prevented early intervention and treatment for some children suffering with disabilities.
Robert Kennedy Jr., a major figure in the vaccine resistance movement, wrote on his Twitter, “Why does CDC refuse to investigate the cause of exploding Autism epidemic far more devastating than COVID?”

Robert Kennedy, Jr. has been speaking out about this health crisis for years now.
After he endorsed Donald Trump for president, Kennedy has been pushing his Make America Healthy Again agenda that includes investigating the alleged autism-vaccine connection.
On Sunday far left NBC reporter Kristen Welker asked President Trump about Robert Kennedy Jr. investigating autism.
Welker was out to get a gotcha headline from her cohorts in the fake news. She failed miserably. She was unwilling to listen to a word Trump said.
This interview was all very predictable.
Kristen Welker: Let me ask you about RFK Jr. He has obviously talked about his skepticism of vaccines. He’s expressed opposition to childhood vaccines. Do you want to see childhood vaccines eliminated?
President Trump: If they’re dangerous for the children. Look.
Kristen Welker: So possibly?
Donald Trump: When you look at some of the problems, when you look at what’s going on with disease and sickness in our country, something’s wrong.
Kristen Welker: Are you talking about autism?
President Trump: Well, if you take a look at autism, go back 25 years, autism was almost nonexistent. It was one out of 100,000, and now it’s close to one out of 100 (or more!). What’s happening if they can find it? Now, I did something the other night that was a little unusual. At Mar-a-Lago, I called the drug companies, the top drug companies, and I called RFK Junior and Dr. Oz and some of his people, and I said, Let’s all get together and let’s figure out where we’re going because we’re going to do a lot of things.
Number one, we’re to reduce prices because the middleman makes more money than the drug companies, in all fairness to the drug companies. There’s a middleman that nobody even knows who they are. You look at our drug prices, they’re much higher than the prices for the same medicine, for the same stuff.
We met, and we met for a long time, and we talked about pricing, and we talked about vaccines in terms of what happens.
We talked about pesticides.
We talked about everything. I think a lot of good things are going to come from him.
Kristen Welker: He’s not going to upset any system.
Donald Trump: He’s not going to upset this. He’s not looking to reinvent the wheel totally. But when you look at the numbers, we really don’t have a very unhealthy country.
Kristen Welker: Sir, going back 25 years, studies show that there is no link between vaccines and autism. (a lie) And yet it sounds like you are open to the possibility of him looking at getting rid of them.
President Trump: I’m open to anything. I think somebody has to find out. If you go back 25 years ago, you had very little autism. Now you have it.
Kristen Welker: Well, they say because they’re better at identifying it.
President Trump: One in 100,000, and now it’s one in 100. That’s a pretty bad number.
Kristen Welker: Childhood vaccines have present.
President Trump: Something is going on. I don’t know if it’s vaccines. Maybe it’s chlorine in the water, right? People are looking at a lot of different things.
Kristen Welker: You know, childhood vaccines-I want them to look at everything. Everything. So childhood vaccines have prevented about 4 million deaths around the world every year.
President Trump: Think it’s great.I’m all for it. I think it’s great. Hey, look, I’m not against vaccines. The polio vaccine is the greatest thing. If somebody told me, get rid of the polio vaccine, they’re going to have to work real hard to convince me. I think vaccines are Certain vaccines are incredible, but maybe some aren’t. If they aren’t, we have to find out. But when you talk about autism because it was brought up and you look at the amount we have today versus 20 or 25 years ago, it’s pretty scary.
Kristen Welker: Well, again, scientists say that’s because they’ve gotten better at identifying it and there’s no link in studies.
President Trump: The drug companies are going to be working with RFK Jr. He’s been an interesting guy to me. I’ve watched him for 25 years, and he’s been an interesting guy.
