By Center for American ProgressPhotos: YouTube ScreenshotsWashington, D.C. — Monday, President Donald Trump made an announcement from the White House claiming that autism is linked to the use of Tylenol during pregnancy. He was joined by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Today’s announcement attributes autism to the use of Tylenol during pregnancy based on distorted “science” and false claims. In addition, RFK Jr. and Trump’s focus on “curing” autism—a natural part of human diversity—is offensive, inaccurate, and stigmatizing. This administration’s approach derails efforts to provide autistic people the services and support they may need.
