Many Americans have voiced the belief that America's rising number of autism diagnoses is due to greater awareness of the disorder, and how vast the autism spectrum is. Though this might be true, could the rising number in these diagnoses also be connected to America's high rates of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, or obesity?
TrueMed co-founder Calley Means joins to discuss why HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and President Trump are exploring the idea that the above trends could all be related in a "larger chronic disease epidemic". He also shares what factors he believes might contribute to the rising rates of autism in the U.S., and the challenges the government faces in accessing data that could reveal links between certain medications or lifestyle behaviors and medical diagnoses.
