美国卫生与公众服务部（HHS）部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪在华盛顿特区卫生与公众服务部举行的新闻发布会上，就美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）最新自闭症与发育障碍监测（ADDM）网络调查结果发表讲话…… 购买授权，新标签页打开 阅读更多
华盛顿9月18日路透电——两名知情人士向路透社透露，美国卫生部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪于周五任命盟友约翰·盖塔尼斯博士领导一个关键的联邦自闭症咨询委员会。
盖塔尼斯是一名儿科神经学家，上月刚被任命为美国国立卫生研究院儿童健康研究所所长，他将接替西尔维亚·福格尔博士。福格尔自今年1月起担任跨部门自闭症协调委员会（IACC）主席。

福格尔是哈佛医学院讲师，也是一名自闭症成年子女的家长，她迅速牵头提出并协助通过了一项全面的新战略计划，聚焦自闭症患者及其家庭的医疗护理、住房、老龄化等优先事项。
在她的领导下，跨部门自闭症协调委员会建议政府将“重度自闭症”一词用于有高支持需求的人群。福格尔是在肯尼迪重组咨询委员会后接任主席一职的，后者任命了全部新成员，其中一些人宣扬疫苗与自闭症之间存在关联。
两名知情人士称，肯尼迪在一次会议上表示，盖塔尼斯将接任主席一职，因为按照惯例，该委员会应由其21名联邦成员中的一人担任主席。福格尔将继续留在跨部门自闭症协调委员会，她是该委员会20名外部公众成员之一。
肯尼迪称赞了该委员会迄今为止的工作，尤其是福格尔，并补充称福格尔将协助盖塔尼斯完成过渡。
肯尼迪还表示，跨部门自闭症协调委员会过去未能履行职责，并向那些可能因感觉联邦成员支持不足而感到沮丧的公众成员道歉。
福格尔、美国卫生与公众服务部以及美国国立卫生研究院没有立即回复置评请求。

U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F.

WASHINGTON, Sept 18 (Reuters) – US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. named an ally, Dr. John Gaitanis, to lead a key federal advisory panel on autism on Friday, two people with knowledge of the announcement told Reuters.
Gaitanis, a pediatric neurologist who was appointed last month as director of the National Institutes of Health’s child health institute, will take over from Dr. Sylvia Fogel, who has chaired the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee since January.

Fogel, a Harvard Medical School instructor and a parent to an adult child with autism, had worked quickly to propose, and then helped adopt, a sweeping new strategic plan focused on medical care, housing, aging, and other priorities for people with autism and their families.
The IACC under her leadership recommended the government adopt the term “profound autism” for those with high support needs. She took the helm after Kennedy remade the advisory board, filling it with all new members, some of whom have promoted ties between vaccines and autism.
Kennedy said during a meeting that Gaitanis would take over because the committee has traditionally been chaired by one of its 21 federal members, the two people said. Fogel, who will be staying on the IACC, is one of the committee’s 20 outside public members.

He praised the IACC’s work so far and Fogel specifically, one of the people said, adding that she would be helping Gaitanis with the transition.
Kennedy also said that the IACC had not done its job in the past, and apologized to the public members who may have felt frustrated by a perceived lack of support from federal members.
Fogel, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the NIH did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
