Kennedy, Jr., a vocal anti-vaccine advocate, says it aims to end ADHD, autism, and other chronic health conditions with “fresh thinking on nutrition, physical activity, healthy lifestyles, over-reliance on medication and treatments, the effects of new technological habits, environmental impacts, and food and drug quality and safety.”Almost immediately, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) and Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN) condemned what it called the stigmatizing language and stated purpose of the commission, which established a 100-day mission to:“We know from the evidence and from our own clinical practice that the psychiatric drugs mentioned in the order, when prescribed and used as directed by properly trained psychiatrists, are safe, effective, and in some cases, lifesaving,” wrote APA CEO and Medical Director Marketa M.
