Overall: Extra content and less dependence on quotes is a vast improvement. Looks good to me. Seddontalk 22:59, 9 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi, Seddon! Thank you for your review! May I ask why you indicated that you feel the article "follows a structure identical" to the Psychology Today article? Looking at the PT article, only one paragraph discusses Asasumasu. Do you mean that the section about Asasumasu coining the term neurodivergence is too similar to the PT article? If that's the case, I can certainly rephrase that section. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 15:52, 8 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
I have now expanded the article with a couple of additional sources so that it reaches over 1,500 words not including quotations. I have also tried paraphrasing some of the quotes. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 16:18, 8 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

I think replacing Hapa Asian autism rights activist with American autism rights activist would be more compatible with MOS:CONTEXTBIO. Is there a reason that we'd like to avoid that here? Unrelatedly, this citation[1] for the fact that she's Hapa Asian seems wrong, it's mentioned nowhere in the cited book and this book has less than 198 pages.

I agree. — VORTEX3427 (Talk!) 14:37, 5 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
I agree, @Streded. Even if a lot of sources mention her ethnicity, it shouldn’t warrant more than a sentence in the ‘personal life’ section. —I'llbeyourbeach (talk) 14:38, 5 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
I changed the first sentence as I proposed. I haven't fixed the citation since I don't know what exactly was the intended source. Streded (talk) 14:48, 5 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
I approve the phrasing of "American" in the lead with a mention of her ethnicity in the personal life section. She is described as "Hapa and Asian American" in this article in The Conversation. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 19:45, 8 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
