New autism group meets to counter MAHA's 'ideological agenda'
The new group's first meeting comes just weeks after Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. The independent committee, announced March 3, includes five former members of the federal group, two former directors of the National Institute of Mental Health, prominent scientists, representatives of autism advocacy organizations, and one person who identifies as autistic. In many ways, the independent autism committee will mimic its federal counterpart, which advises the government on autism research and services.
