RFK Jr. has promised to find the "cause" of the "autism epidemic" by September. Many people in the autism community are offended by his rhetoric.

Responding to RFK Jr.'s remarks, Representative Frost wrote on X, formerly Twitter: "This is disrespectful and a flat-out lie that further stigmatizes autism. It's not a virus or a disease — it's a neurological condition with a wide spectrum. Many Americans with autism work, pay taxes, and are living happy and healthy lives."
