Gélineau advanced the term "narcolepsy" in 1880 while de la Tourette described his eponymous syndrome in 1885. "Autism" was coined by Bleuler in 1911, with full diagnoses soon after.
But what do I know? I'm not the Cabinet secretary in charge of the goddamn Department of Health and Human Services.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is slated to announce an intent to phase out the use of petroleum-based synthetic food dyes in a bid to ramp up pressure on an industry he has often derided.
RFK Jr. to announce intent to phase out synthetic food dyes
