I cannot create a summary of the requested article because the full text of the article titled "Independent autism committee kicks off efforts to counter RFK Jr., influence Congress" is not found in the search results provided. In the available results, there is only a brief mention that the US Secretary of Health Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced plans to find the cause of autism by September 2025, but there is no article about an independent committee of scientists trying to counter his influence on Congress. I would need the full text of the article in order to create an accurate and factual summary as per your requirements.
