AUTISM NEWS – FACT CHECK: Numerous outlets reported “Federal Panel Adopts Overhauled Autism Plans,” calling for doubling of funding. The reality: the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee has no authority over federal funding; the administration last year enacted large cuts to Medicaid which is the largest funder of disability-related long-term care and support programs; the President’s budget office has proposed cutting Section 811 Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities by $21 million (about 7%), and Project-Based Rental Assistance — which serves many low-income disabled and elderly tenants — by $903 million; and the Trump Administration is misleading millions of families into thinking they can avoid autism by not getting their children vaccinated which is fueling the return of measles. Background: RFK Jr.’s vaccine comments draw criticism during measles outbreak – STAT; U.S. measles cases hit 35-year record in 2026 – NBC.
