No new autism registry, HHS says walking back NIH director’s claim

The Department of Health and Human Services has clarified that they are not planning to create a new registry of Americans with autism. Instead, they will be launching a $50 million research effort to delve into the causes of autism spectrum disorder and enhance treatment options. This decision comes in response to the recent announcement made by National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya about the intention to establish a registry for individuals with autism.

Bhattacharya’s announcement at an all-staff meeting caused panic and confusion within the autism self-advocacy community and the broader research field. The unsettling aspect of the proposal was the mention of pulling health data from private sources like electronic health records, pharmacy data, insurance claims, and even wearable devices such as smartwatches and fitness trackers.

Although the NIH already has numerous registries for various diseases and regularly funds studies on conditions like autism, Bhattacharya’s comments raised concerns among many individuals, some of whom shared their apprehensions on social media platforms.

The exclusive details of the situation are only accessible to STAT+ subscribers, but the overarching message is clear. The government is focusing on research and understanding the complexities of autism, rather than creating a registry that could potentially invade privacy and cause distress among individuals with autism and their families.

The emphasis on research and treatment advancements is a positive step forward in addressing the needs of individuals with autism spectrum disorder. By investing in understanding the root causes of autism and improving treatment options, the Department of Health and Human Services is demonstrating a commitment to supporting and enhancing the lives of individuals with disabilities.

As the information continues to unfold, it is essential to stay informed and engaged in discussions surrounding health policies and technologies that impact individuals with disabilities. By fostering open dialogue and promoting transparency in healthcare initiatives, we can strive towards a more inclusive and supportive society for all individuals, including those with autism spectrum disorder.
