m Autism spectrum again: typo. grrrrrr
Line 205:
::If one can say "yes" clearly and unequivocally, then it should be referenced here. If there is doubt then it should be removed. However, this can, being Wikipedia, be decided only by consensus of those with a current interest in the article (ie without consulting the history tab).
::My feeling is that the topic does not merit a section in the main article. However careful one is to draft it well, such a reference can always be seen as POV, and thus devalue the article as a whole. However, it may be valid to phrase a brief link (with a ref if desired) in a 'See Also' link to the main article on Autism. I do not favour this either, I am simply mentioning it for consideration.
::If we took, as an example, something wholly different from having a hobby to do with trains, for example supporting (though not participating in) wrestling or boxing, those associated with those rather macho pursuits would object enormously if there were any reference to their support orof their sport being able to be related to autism in an article on their sport of choice. I think making the link in an article on railfanning is being rather too politically correct.
::It is, of course, just my opinion. I respect those who have a different view. [[User:Timtrent|Fiddle Faddle]] 12:42, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
