I find the declaration touching, but inappropriate for Wikipedia. I'm thinking we should put this on Wikisource, because I don't want to get rid of it. What do we do? - Ta bu shi da yu 04:26, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
The Declaration is certainly not written in an encyclopedic manner. If it comes from some particular site, then it needs to be attributed and noted as a quote. If it reflects general feelings in the autistic community, then it needs to reworded to be in third person ("People in the autistic community say...") rather than the plural first person ("We the autistics say..."). -- 4.246.239.190 07:27, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

This is literally written from one point of view and needs a lot of work. I realize this is a contentious issue, but
I really did a lot of work on other pages, such as autistic culture, on the pov issues, but this one needs is a bit longer and needs a top to bottom rewrite. -- RN 00:42, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
Wow! Thanks for doing that! I went ahead and squished the remaining issues. Here are some notes:
Thanks again. Let me know if you have any comments et al.-- RN 10:06, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
I've had another go at rewriting most of the article. I think we need to be clear about what is POV and what is choice of subject matter. I envision this article as being primarily *about* the community that consists of autistic people. It is therefore to be expected that the article would mostly explain the views of that community, and link to such communities. The "autism community" groups that use a similar term but consist of non-autistic people certainly rate a mention as an aspect of this topic, but they're not the primary subject matter. Their opinions about the autistic community certainly should be reported, as should any other significant opinions about the autistic community. Regrettably, the article currently lacks much subject matter other than the comparison of the autistic and autism communities and the list of autistic communities. I think the lengthy letter to the UN doesn't belong here; it should be summarised, with a link to a canonical external copy, and responses to the letter should likewise be summarised. The Autism Society of Canada para seems too specific to include; the article should be more general, so I just included a link to them with a note that there is controversy. 195.224.75.71 16:21, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
I noticed that someone merged autistic community and autistic culture without a discussion on the talk page. It is not appropriate to merge without discussion. First, there needs to be a proposal on the talk page, and people need a chance to state objections. Q0 18:43, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
I did the merge. My reasoning is that there are more articles than concepts here, so it hasn't been clear what the scope of each article is. The autistic community article has bits of several subjects: autistic culture, autism rights movement, and the non-autistic "autism community". Autism rights is alredy well covered in its own article, so I think what needs to happen is for the culture material to be merged with the culture article. Having "autistic culture" as the primary name of the merged article avoids the problem of the ambiguous "community" terminology which led the autistic community article to give undue prominence to a non-autistic community which is not its real subject; the explanation of the terminology can be relegated to a single section in the culture article. This arrangement also mirrors Deaf community and Deaf culture, which I think is an appropriate model. 195.224.75.71 09:44, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
Merge "Autistic Community" with Controversies in autism. Alister Namarra 02:17, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
I removed the slogan from the title. It makes it seem like autistics.org is actually "the real voice of autism" instead of an organization who uses that phrase as their slogan. I believe that is not in keeping with wikipedia policy. -- Curtis Bledsoe 18:17, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
Many of the Community links from Autism are either here already or compliment this article. The main article Autism has been subjected to a growing number of peripherally related links to the point that the primary theme of the main article has been diluted. I have relocated them here since they are relevant to this article. Malangthon 00:14, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
I disagree with the removal of references to forums and chatrooms. I have looked through the linked WP:NOT, WP:RS and WP:EL and I don't see what's wrong with a description of existing communities. The information is useful, sourced, reliable and encyclopedic. -- Gerrit C U T E D H 12:54, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
Image:Autism ribbon.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
