That's what happens when a country puts an anti-science person in charge of national health...
I mean, I expect he'll get what he wants out of it: the ability to say it's partially genetic and use that as an excuse to roll out mandatory sterilisation to the list he got.
I expect him to link obesity and diabetes to autism because of the studies from Hopkins, and others, that have seen a 4x increased likelihood of autism if both parents are obese and have diabetes. A NIH study seems to refute that conclusion, but they didn't take into account diabetes and only looked at obesity.
What he would suggest being done about that is anybody's guess, but I would like to see HFCS to be greatly reduced from our diets.
