US EditionTrump says autism ‘has to be artificially induced’
- On May 22, 2025, President Donald Trump suggested at a White House event that external or man-made factors could be responsible for the increasing rates of autism in the United States.
- Trump linked the increase from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 31 to outside causes, although the 1 in 10,000 baseline is unclear and not supported by CDC data.
- His remarks coincided with a 69-page report supervised by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. That criticized the US food supply’s heavy use of artificial additives and urged scrutiny of vaccines, pesticides, and additives.
- A new CDC analysis indicates that autism rates in the US have risen from 1 in 36 children to 1 in 31, a change partly attributed to updated diagnostic standards and better screening, challenging Trump’s previously cited figures.
- Medical experts warn these claims support debunked conspiracy theories and emphasize no scientific evidence links vaccines or additives to autism or related disorders.
