saw this news yesterday of this executive order, how did you process it? Did you see sort of an intention here, a motivation here? Was that something that you reacted well to, or did you have some other reaction to this?
17:29
I, Tom, had mixed reaction to this completely.
17:34
On the one hand, as a mom who, and I do speak for myself and for moms who have children on the spectrum that require 24-7 care.
17:47
I think you have to qualify that because there's a lot of people that feel fine about everything and vaccines and everything.
17:54
So I'm a mom that has 24-7 care over the last 33 years.
17:59
And that gives me a different vantage point because I think many of moms and parents in my position never got answers, Tom, that we had talked about previously.
18:10
Never got answers on how could this happen.

Nancy, you want to jump in?
Ali RoginCORRESPONDENT

Dozens of studies on different vaccines have found no connection to autism.
2:22
I am a proponent, actually, of vaccines.
2:25
But I also think there's a subpopulation of people that are very sensitive.
2:31
There could be a contributing factor of the vaccines and the environment to what kind of set off the autism in my son.
2:41
I do believe that.

I'm not in his

shoes.
7:21
And he's got to pick his battles to bring health to America.
3:20
And Nancy, just briefly remind our audience of how autism has impacted your family.
3:26
Well, it was pretty radical change to our family.
3:30
We weren't given a lot back then.
3:32
This is 30 years ago from diagnosis.
3:35
We weren't given a lot of instruction.
3:37
And back then, they didn't really know much at all.
3:40
And they said to prepare for no language, no love, no laughter.

How do you process all of that? For example, when you hear RFK announcing this big push for studying the non-genetic causes of autism, how do you bring all of it together? How do you synthesize it for the Maha movement, for example?
