“Recently, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made several remarks about people who have autism or similar neurological conditions that I found to be extremely ignorant and, to be perfectly frank, downright offensive,” Jones, who is on the autism spectrum, said in a Tuesday, April 22, TikTok video.

The latest report on autism from the CDC found that autism rates in 8-year-olds rose from 1 in 36 in 2020 to 1 in 31 in 2022, continuing a long-term uptick in diagnoses of the condition. That rate is nearly five times higher than in 2000, when the agency first began collecting data on the disorder.
