Yes! In March 2026, leading autism researchers and advocates formed the *Independent Autism Coordinating Committee (I-ACC)* to counter misinformation spread by RFK Jr.’s revamped federal advisory panel. The group includes experts from Penn, Seattle Children’s, and others committed to science-based autism research. Their first meeting was scheduled the same day as the federal panel’s canceled session.

Key goals:
- Provide accurate autism info
- Depoliticize research
- Advocate for evidence-based policies
