According to the latest results published from the Disease Control and Resistance Survey Center published on Tuesday, one of the 31% of the baby is identified with more than 3% of the children – autism that tracks the prevalence of autism in some communities in the United States
“They have come up again dramatically again in just two years. In some of our states there are less than 20 of the 20, 1 in 31 kids. And when I was in my generation today, the rate of autism was 1 out of 10,000,” Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. India said on Tuesday that a new inquiry was announced. “And it’s just a disease. This whole generation of children is damaged by chronic diseases.”
Kennedy often referred to CDC’s statistics from this study as proof of its claim that the United States is now watching a growing “Epidemic” Of AutismWhich experts and advocacy groups have been criticized as scandalous and misleading.
“As the report hints, more children have access to autism’s assessment and more children are being identified as autistic. This is encouraging because when children are first identified, appropriate support and services can be created to help them, and their families can achieve success,” Autism’s American Academy’s Share, before Autism’s Autism, has been published.
Dr. Calin Gouder, CBS News Medical Contributor and editor-at-Large for KFF Health News Public Health, told the “CBS Morning Plus” that the definition of autism also expanded.
“It’s a spectrum. It’s not just a thing … … so it’s part of it,” he said. “We’re becoming more aggressive in search of it – pediatrician, educator.”
The definitions used in this study also added to the gap, the gap.
“They were both health records, educational records, a student supported access special aid, this kind of thing,” he said. “So a part of it is that we are looking for it but but also seems to be an underlying growth that is happening over time” “
Over the years, CDC scientists have said that data that indicates the increase in the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder or ASD can reflect access to some community advanced screening and autism services. However, agency experts have not been available for a press briefing about the latest explorations, which identify changes from previous years.
“The research has not been proved in their report that the children living in certain communities have been more at risk for developing ASD,” CDC writers said in their report.
The authors of the survey say that the expansion of autism was consistently higher in Asian, black and Hispanic children than white children. According to the report, factors such as discrimination in birth and lead poison can contribute to this gap.
Data was collected from 16 community sites for the new CDC report. In the latest report, on the basis of information from 5 communities, 1 36 children were found in 2021 by 2021.
Although the data on the network is not nationally representative, other federal-financed surveys and studies have also increased the incidence of autism over the past two decades, accelerated in the early 2000s.
“Autistic children add prices to our community. It is necessary to advise resources and funds to support autistic people for productive and healthy America,” said Sohail in the statement.
Federal costs have also increased in autism research, mainly in the effort to study suspected biology to underlauce this condition. Scientists have attached up to 90% of autism in genetic properties, but other factors are also suspected to have a role in changing its risk.
Kennedy says he believes that “an environmental toxin” is causing autism, pointing to various potential criminals from food pollutants to vaccine.
In many studies, the vaccine has made the claim that vaccines cause autism. However, there are fewer research for some other factors that study that can be associated with autism from time to time to pesticides.
The Federal Government’s Autism Research Coordination Office said in 2021, “The number of investigative studies in the epidemic of autism is increasing, but most of the potential environmental factors have not been investigated enough to reach the Firm decision.”
In a statement on Tuesday, Kennedy claimed that autism was preventable and said it was “disqualified that we could not identify the underlying reasons.”
“We are combining world -class scientists groups to focus on the source of the epidemic,” he said, and we hope to start answering in September, “he said. There are top autism agencies Expression of doubt About those commitments and concerns that he will recover theoretical theories.
Gundder said the answer to the causes or causes of autism by September is “not realistic”.
“Includes some theory Diabetes It can be the development of the child, air pollution, micro plastic contact, the use of antibiotics, and the way the microbes and guts change, “he said.” There are a whole bunch of different theories. And again, because it is a lot of different diseases actually marked as autism spectrum disorder, so it really will really take some time to irritate “”
The CDC also publishes a statement that the study has changed drastically in different sites. This variation is “Dr. Carril Ratt, head of the Department of Human Development and Disability of the CDC, said” initial identification, evaluation and diagnostic practice, “said Dr. Carril Ratt, head of the CDC’s human development and disability department.
CDC delayed report, prevents agency experts from media
Multiple officials told CBS News that the birth defects and development disabilities related to the CDC National Center were planning to publish the report in March this year. CDC officials were behind the publication in the sectional break on the communications ordered by the Trump administration.
Agency experts say the plans to explain and explain the results were also canceled, said multiple CDC officials who spoke on condition of anonymity. Before the agency’s last release Autism statistics In 2023, CDC scientists attended the interview with media outlets about press briefings and reports.
That year, the reports were also provided for journalists to prepare their reports and interview experts. This long practice has now been abandoned under the agency under the Trump administration, officials say both for autism reports and many more studies published by the agency.
CDC and HHS did not respond to the Request for Prohibited Report or to An expert to make an interview available for an interview.
Most of the communications workers working with the center have also been closed, officials said that this month is part of the clear restructuring of the Kennedy department.
Autism is one of the branches responsible for producing statistics A few teams left CDC’s birth defects and jobs at the Disability Center.
Officials are hoping that it will be separated from the CDC and will be integrated into Kennedy’s new administration for a healthy American agency.
