How does Kennedy's engagement with the autism community and his approach to 'settled science' inform his current policy decisions at the HHS?

Kennedy's approach contrasts with that of previous HHS Secretaries who largely relied on expert consensus. Kennedy's focus on incorporating lived experiences of affected individuals, coupled with his emphasis on data transparency and questioning established views, represents a notable shift in HHS policymaking. This has led to both support and opposition, highlighting the inherent tensions between established medical practices and alternative viewpoints.
