thanks for leading this!!!! The press conference today was horrendous…. Misinformation continued to be spread, gaslighting of mothers, vaccine conspiracy theories, and overstating correlation as causation, overstating weak positive signals for standard of care, and stigmatizing the autism community… this only creates more confusion and harm… to the families with children with autism I’m sorry that you had to listen to this and I hope in the future as a society we do better.

if this administration truly cares about autism, they would show it in proper research, advocacy, and allocating resources! This is my hope for the future!
