Despite a global pandemic and lockdowns that temporarily stymied research, autism scientists made significant progress in many areas in 2020 — from improving the diversity of people represented in their research to testing the mettle of gene therapies for several autism-related conditions.

How to Be a Girl Detective - Los Angeles Review of Books
MAKING IT AS A GIRL sleuth isn't easy. Unless you're Nancy Drew, with her lawyer father and clean-cut, middle-American existence, no one really wants you around. Think of Louise Fitzhugh's grumpy, standoffish Harriet, or the irrepressible Turtle Wexler in Ellen Raskin's The Westing Game (1978). In these and other examples of the girl detective genre, daring deeds and ingenious investigations exist side by side with a poignant quest for identity.
In stories of girl detectives, there are two ways that the central question of identity gets resolved: the heroine appears either as a polite, well-bred woman who happens to have a knack for investigative work, or as an adventurous tomboy ahead of her time who takes advantage of the masculine behaviors and privileges her female peers are too prudish to accept.
