Finding the Cause of Autism

Too often, medicine is doing small little studies, giving us answers we already knew. But we've got to make a difference. You've given us a charge to identify root causes we are not going to stop so that we can end the suffering we are watching.

And at President Trump's urging, nih, fda, CDC and CMS are turning over every stone to identify the ideology of the autism epidemic and how patients and parents can prevent and reverse this alarming trend.

The NIH peer Reviews chose the 13 best projects focused on root causes and therapies with replication and validation studies to guarantee gold standard science. The studies feature a new kind of science called exposomics, where scientists consider environmental and medical factors, nutrition events during pregnancy in combination with biology and genetics to answer vital questions about autism in historic fashion in a very accelerated manner. We have a response today to the autism crisis. It is the first of several chapters, but this is breaking news.

We are sharing this not to confuse but to empower parents to make the best choices when taking medications during pregnancy. I'm just very grateful, pray for my son every day and hope that he can get the help that he needs. I'm speechless. This day is a day I never thought would happen. I thought that we would never have an administration that was courageous enough to look into things that no prior administration had. So I'm just here to express my gratitude and I am looking forward to what comes from this and hopefully we just get more answers. So thank you.
