U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated the country is facing an "autism epidemic," — a concern he says immense testing and research efforts are
being dedicated to understanding why 1 in 31 people were diagnosed with autism in 2022, when only roughly 1 in 10,000 Americans were diagnosed with the disorder in the 1960s. 
 
Martha is joined by Wall Street Journal Editorial Board member Allysia Finley, who reveals evidence that shows many schools across the country have allegedly diagnosed more children with autism throughout the years due to financial incentives. She also discusses her thoughts on potential autism causes, and whether outside factors like vaccines or toxins in food have played a role in higher rates of the disorder in America.
