Umm, does this count as an article?[edit]

Or should it be a sentence in a relevant article? JubalHarshaw (talk) 13:36, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

Did Ed Poor create this? Change into a redirect to the appropriate article.--Spud (talk) 15:23, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

Criteria of Autism[edit]

A prominent autism blogger noted that descriptions of Hannah didn't show enough evidence to meet the diagnostic criteria of autism.[3] The only autistic-like traits she showed were differences in social relatedness, avoidance of eye contact, and an interest at staring at fluorescent lights (possibly a sign of sensory processing disorder, a condition that is common in but not limited to autistic people).

I am very tempted to add that this does not matter due to the criteria of ASD changing over the years and an example of Gatekeeping, but it would be better to with some evidence of Hannah's diagnosis first.--Lordofairguitar (talk) 23:26, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
