Exclusive: Trump administration cut autism-related research by 26% so far in 2025
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr has vowed to address rising U.S. autism rates as a top health priority for the Trump administration .

Why? Research on diverse populations has been defunded in the anti-DEI and 'gender ideology' purge.
