Facts Over Fear: Debunking RFK Jr’s Autism Narrative

from Beerocracy!® · host Emily Gross

Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr. is once again spreading controversy — this time with factually inaccurate and harmful claims about autism. At a time when autism affects 1 in 31 children in the U.S., it's more important than ever to confront misinformation with truth. I’m joined by Zoe Gross (no relation!), Director of Advocacy at the Autistic Self Advocacy Network, for a conversation that cuts through the noise. We dive into the real science behind autism, challenge RFK Jr.’s misleading rhetoric, and talk about what it actually means to live as an autistic person. This episode is a powerful reminder of why autistic voices must lead the conversation — not conspiracy theories or fear.
