Thousands of people suddenly start staring into the night sky, exhaustively cataloging everything they see, and writing long journal entries arguing over whether a vague flickering dot is a planet or not.
And you think Pluto caused Autism?
Some guys got so obsessed with reforming and polishing glass, that they used that to see the vague flickering dots even better.
But also, have you seen the night sky without light and sound pollution? How can someone not just stare at that every night and memorize it?
Getting really far out into the woods and seeing the Milky Way in all its glory is a transformative experience, without a doubt.
Maybe we have it backwards. Maybe the light pollution is what causes the Autism and we just got lucky with Pluto before the sky was closed up.
