Everyone’s freaking out over the new CDC Autism Report — and yes, RFK Jr. had a lot to say.

But is anyone actually reading the study? 📚

Before the media and politicians spin the numbers, we’re breaking down what the CDC really found, what the autism rate numbers really mean, and why trusting experts matters more than ever.

Don’t let headlines (or campaigns) tell you what to think.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has once again stirred controversy—this time with inflammatory claims about autism that have left many families, clinicians, and advocates outraged.

In this episode, we take a closer look at what he actually said, why it's problematic, and what the science really says about the rising number of autism diagnoses in America.

Is there a true increase in cases, or are we just better at recognizing and diagnosing autism across a broader spectrum? What roles do genetics, environment, and awareness play? And what damage can high-profile misinformation do to public understanding and policy?

From a healthcare professional’s perspective, we break down the data, debunk myths, and offer a respectful yet evidence-based counterpoint to RFK’s narrative.

👂 Whether you're a parent, provider, or just trying to make sense of the headlines—this is a conversation worth having.
