Autism Speaks comes up in 3 chapters across 3 episodes of The No Agenda Show, from March 2013 to April 2017.
The White House is illuminated in blue to mark World Autism Awareness Day, fulfilling a promise made by President Trump to the founder of Autism Speaks. Media coverage notes Trump's past statements regarding a potential link between vaccines and autism.
A new CDC report indicates a 30% increase in autism diagnoses, with one in 68 American children now identified on the spectrum. The report notes a significant rise in diagnoses among children with average or higher IQs. The hosts argue that the "autism spectrum" has become a broad business for the pharmaceutical industry and NGOs like Autism Speaks, potentially pathologizing brilliant or non-conformist children.
A new CDC report suggests that 1 in 50 American schoolchildren has a form of autism, a significant increase from the previous estimate of 1 in 88. The data was derived from a telephone survey of 100,000 parents rather than clinical diagnoses. Critics argue the numbers are inflated by broad definitions of the "spectrum" and that the survey methodology is statistically questionable.
