Several weeks after the McCullough Foundation Report: Determinants of Autism, online reaction has been a welcome relief that the truth has finally come out in a full-length extensively referenced scientific document.

Many in the MAHA coalition expected HHS or one of its agencies such as the CDC to get this done by September, particularly after HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr announced at a cabinet meeting in April that he would have the answer to what causes autism. However, the RFK and the government fell short. By October 27, 2025, the world had what RFK had promised—a clear exposition on the independent risk factors for autism spectrum disorder.

Sparse negative feedback has come from anonymous Twitter (X) accounts or trolls, all of which are ad hominem attacks on one or more of the authors. HHS and the major academic media has yet to react to the report despite it’s prominent mention in social and major media.
