How RFK Jr. is shaping the conversation about autism

Season 2025 Episode 134 | 12m 25s

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s agenda has won praise from some whose loved ones have severe complications from autism. But others say his rhetoric fails to accurately portray people on the spectrum and the contributions they make. We have perspectives from people with autism and their caregivers and Ali Rogin looks at how leaders in the community are advocating for themselves.
