The Revival Of Classical Architecture With Justin Shubow

Many Americans have voiced the belief that America's rising number of autism diagnoses is due to greater awareness of the disorder, and how vast the autism spectrum is. Though this might be true, could the rising number in these diagnoses also be connected to America's high rates of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, or obesity?  TrueMed co-founder Calley Means joins to discuss why HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and President Trump are exploring the idea that the above trends could all be related in a "larger chronic disease epidemic". He also shares what factors he believes might contribute to the rising rates of autism in the U.S., and the challenges the government faces in accessing data that could reveal links between certain medications or lifestyle behaviors and medical diagnoses.  Follow Martha on X: @MarthaMacCallum Learn more about your ad choices.

U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated the country is facing an "autism epidemic," — a concern he says immense testing and research efforts are being dedicated to understanding why 1 in 31 people were diagnosed with autism in 2022, when only roughly 1 in 10,000 Americans were diagnosed with the disorder in the 1960s.    Martha is joined by Wall Street Journal Editorial Board member Allysia Finley, who reveals evidence that shows many schools across the country have allegedly diagnosed more children with autism throughout the years due to financial incentives. She also discusses her thoughts on potential autism causes, and whether outside factors like vaccines or toxins in food have played a role in higher rates of the disorder in America.   Follow Martha on X: @MarthaMacCallum Learn more about your ad choices.
