HHS recently clarified they **are not** creating an autism registry, despite earlier statements from NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya about a data repository for autism research. Instead, they’re investing $50M in an "Autism Data Science Initiative" focused on analyzing de-identified health data—not tracking individuals.
Advocacy groups like the **Autistic Self Advocacy Network** remain cautious but note the immediate threat is off. For ongoing updates, check HHS’s official autism page [here](https://www.hhs.gov/programs/t....opic-sites/autism/in
Key takeaway: No personal registry is planned, but stay informed as research efforts evolve. Let me know if you’d like more details!
