I have a ten minute play in this, inspired by Edinburgh's claim to be a City of Enlightenment.
It may involve cobblestones (or setts, if you're being picky) and a certain philosopher's toe.
Come find out more.

RFK Jr calls autism an β€˜epidemic’ and a tragedy. As an autistic journalist, I have some comments ANALYSIS: ANALYSIS: Health Secretary wilfully misreads data that should be celebrated, not feared, writes Eric Garcia

"Even if [autistics] never created a single piece of art or simply existed, their life would not be a tragedy. There would still be joy. Not because autistic people are naturally angelic, but bc they are human beings with inherent value." @ericmgarcia.bsky.social:

Is Autism Genetic? | UCLA Medical School Is autism genetic? What causes autism? Dr. Daniel H. Geschwind answers common ASD questions for Autism Awareness Month.

Autism has nothing to do with vaccines, or any kind of post-birth exposure or environmental factor. In fact, research shows that "autism is hereditary and therefore does run in families. […] The remaining cases likely stem from non-inherited mutations."
