For 21 years, scientists in Denmark followed more than one million children to find out if vaccines cause autism. The results are clear: there is no link at all. Aluminum in vaccines, or any other ingredient, showed zero connection to autism or any long-term illness. This real-world research proves vaccines are safe and life-saving. Science doesn’t work on opinions—it works on evidence.

Minecraft is a popular sandbox game where players can build, explore, and create their own virtual worlds. But when a young autistic boy named Cameron started playing, his dad, Stuart Duncan, noticed that many autistic kids were facing unkind behavior and negativity on public servers. Parents began looking for a safe and inclusive gaming space for their children.

In 2013, Stuart launched a private Minecraft server called Autcraft, designed especially for autistic players. Only approved members can join, and everyone is treated with kindness, respect, and support. Within two days, over 750 players signed up — today, more than 17,000 gamers have played on Autcraft.

The server strengthened Stuart’s bond with his son and became a symbol of inclusive gaming, online safety, and autism awareness. Autcraft has been featured in Mojang’s The World of Minecraft and Time Magazine.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said on Wednesday that he does not have "sufficient" evidence to link Tylenol to autism, more than a month after the White House discouraged the medicine's use by pregnant women and young children.

Evidence does not show that Kenvue's pain medicine Tylenol definitively causes autism but that it should still be used cautiously, Kennedy, President Trump's top health official, told reporters. Last month the president said U.S. health officials would recommend limiting Tylenol's use.

Kennedy's unproven claim initially hit shares of Kenvue, which was spun off from Johnson & Johnson in 2023. The claim also prompted pushback from many doctors.

Kenvue has repeatedly defended the pain medicine, saying there is no scientific link to autism and warning that such suggestions could endanger maternal health. bit.ly/3WrGv6h

Armani Williams, diagnosed with autism at age 2, is breaking barriers as NASCAR’s first openly autistic driver and one of the few Black drivers in the sport’s 76-year history. Now 23, he’s raced in the Truck and ARCA Series, and is working toward a full-time spot in the Xfinity Series, using his platform to inspire others with autism to chase their dreams. Williams hopes to one day join the short list of Black NASCAR winners and continues to prove that no obstacle—whether race or disability—can keep him from the driver’s seat. 🏁
