CNN: Trump says Cuba has ‘virtually no autism.’ That’s news to Cuban doctors

Trump claimed low autism rates in Amish and Cuba result from no Tylenol use, despite health experts and WHO stating no proven link exists between Tylenol and autism.

  • Trump claimed that Cuba has 'virtually no autism' due to poverty and lack of Tylenol during pregnancy, which was described as 'bizarre and false' by CNN's Havana Bureau Chief Patrick Oppmann.
  • Despite Trump's claims, there is autism in Cuba, with numerous health professionals specializing in autism treating patients across the island, as outlined in a report by Oppmann.
  • Cuba has made autism treatment a priority, with 300 professionals working in seven specialized centers and developing specific treatments since 2018, as mentioned by Dr. Osmara Delgado Sánchez in Cubadebate.
  • Cuban health officials noted that while instances of autism are lower than in developed countries, this is partly due to underdiagnosis caused by limited resources, according to Oppmann's reporting.
