President Donald Trump teased a major announcement on the “answer to autism” during the memorial honoring Charlie Kirk on Sunday.
The president was the last to speak at the hours-long service for the assassinated conservative icon on Sunday, and he dropped a bombshell about autism and plans to make a big announcement on Monday.
“Tomorrow we’re going to have one of the biggest announcement[s] … medically, I think, in the history of our country,” Trump said on the stage at the Glendale, Arizona, memorial.
“I think you’re going to find it to be amazing. I think we found an answer to autism,” he said.

“I think it’s going to be one of the most important news conferences I’ll ever have, and I look so forward to it,” Trump added, saying he will be holding a news conference with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Dr. Mehmet Oz, the administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
“President Trump pledged to address America’s rising rate of autism, and to do so with Gold Standard Science,” White House spokesman Kush Desai said in a statement on Sunday. “Tomorrow’s announcement will make historic progress on both commitments.”
The president teased the announcement last week from the Oval Office as well.

“Federal health officials are expected to raise concerns about pregnant women’s use of acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol and one of the most widely used medications globally,” the Washington Post reported, citing “four people with knowledge of the plans who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the announcement was not yet public.”
“Officials have been reviewing previous research — including an August review by Mount Sinai and Harvard researchers — that suggests a possible link between Tylenol use early on in pregnancy and an increased risk of autism in children. They plan to warn pregnant women against using Tylenol early on unless they have a fever, according to the four individuals,” the newspaper added.
A drug called leucovorin has also been noted as a potential treatment for autism, and the Washington Post noted that the findings on the drug “have sent ripples through the scientific community.”
“Early double-blind, placebo-controlled trials administering leucovorin to children with autism have shown what some scientists describe as remarkable improvements in their ability to speak and understand others,” the outlet reported.
