Rosie O'Donnell slams RFK Jr. amid backlash over his autism comments

Rosie O’Donnell is calling out Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for his baseless claims about people with autism. On Wednesday, April 16, the Health and Human Services Secretary held a press conference discussing a CDC study that found 1 in 31 children in the country had been diagnosed with autism by age 8 in 2022. He then went on to claim that autism “destroys families” before falsely declaring that people on the spectrum cannot do certain things like “play baseball.”
