On April 2 2026, the White House issued a message marking Autism Awareness Day, recognizing the contributions of people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The president reaffirmed the administration’s commitment to support families, improve early screening, and invest in research. The message cited a current estimate that 1 in 32 children has ASD and noted a sharp rise in diagnosis rates. It highlighted the creation of the Make America Healthy Again Commission, which is working with the Department of Health and Human Services to fund research on autism causes, risk factors, and potential treatments. The president also urged increased public awareness of early signs and the importance of timely screening. The administration aims to strengthen school support and connect families to care so that every child can reach its full potential.
