Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is facing widespread criticism following controversial remarks about autism at an April 16 press conference. Kennedy claimed children with autism are “suffering” and suggested many will never work, fall in love, write poetry, play baseball, or use the toilet independently.
His comments sparked backlash, particularly from celebrity parents of autistic children such as Rosie O’Donnell and Holly Robinson Peete, who publicly denounced his statements as harmful and inaccurate.
