New focus on autism fuels debate over splitting the spectrum

Published 1 week, 2 days ago
Description
Last year, Health Secretary Kennedy thrust autism into the national spotlight, calling it an epidemic and vowing to investigate what he characterized as its environmental causes. It struck a nerve in the autism community and reignited debates about whether the autism spectrum is too broad. Judy Woodruff and producer Mary Fecteau have the story for our series, Disability Reframed. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders. Hosted on Acast.
