On April 11th, 2025, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. announced that by this Fall we will know what is causing the Autism Epidemic. A week later RFK announced that they would be creating an Autism registry that was changed a month later to be an Autism database.

Philip King-Lowe hosts a 1 1/2 hour documentary that begins with a brief look at where Autism research and politics have brought us, and now faces collapse by RFK's plans. Philip will be joined by five Autistic individuals. Sam Farmer. Becca Lory Hector. Joyner Emerick. Michael Fuell. Jillian Nelson. The guests will share their reactions and concerns about RFK's announcements and how they are impacting the Autism community. Later they will share recommendations to advocate for the intersectional identities within the Autistic community.

The last 1/2 hour, AJ Locashio and Philip King-Lowe will introduce you to Autistic Advocates United: An Autistic & Allies Grassroots Movement. A movement that is bringing together an inclusive diverse community of Autistics and allies to organize advocacy activities to inspire community conversations and create systemic change to stop us from going backwards on the progress we have made.
