One father? edit

There's a reference to a single father of an autistic child who had 'mixed reviews.' I'm sorry but is that notable enough to include? I understand that there is an article in the Guardian about it, but still. My mother watches the show, and she works in a classroom with autistic children. Wouldn't she be more qualified? Not that I'm thinking of including her, but for reference. One experience with an autistic child out of millions in the world doesn't seem to be worthy of including in the article. It's fair enough to include it, but those are just my thoughts.El cid, el campeador (talk) 19:54, 15 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

The word "autistic" insensitive? edit

I, a person with autism, used that word before to describe myself. How is that insensitive? Just asking. Espngeek (talk) 22:48, 27 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
