The article most recently provided this source for the term "classic autism" as well as some other claims regarding use of terminology (see this version), all of which the source does not appear to support. In fact, it does not even contain the term "classic autism".
I have failed to find a source that shows "classic autism" to be a regularly used term. Google Scholar produces just a little more than 4,000 publications that include the term, some of which are likely to refer to non-syndromic autism, which is also sometimes called "classic autism". Compared to the 75,000 publications that mention "autistic disorder" (the name of the diagnosis in the DSM-IV) and the 68,000 publications that mention "childhood autism" (the name of the diagnosis in the ICD-10), that's minimal. The Encyclopedia of Autism Spectrum Disorders contains no entry for the term (not even the equivalent of a Wikipedia redirect) and just a handful of mentions, two of which are in quotation marks. While in these few cases the term appears to be consistently used to refer to the condition described in the article all mentions are in entries unrelated to the article's main subject.
Hi @ Xurizuri, I saw that you performed the split of this article from autism and that you mentioned lengthy and complicated discussions. Can you (or anyone else reading this) point me to the discussion where this title was picked and/or literature that demonstrate that "classic autism" is a widely used term for the condition described in the article?-- TempusTacet ( talk) 18:07, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
Wikipedia isn't awesome, but this section of it can be made better be adding substance from the publications of Autistic Scholars & Social Activists combined. 141.224.33.135 ( talk) 02:17, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: no consensus. The titles "infantile autism" and "childhood autism" were both suggested, and while they were both shown to be markedly more common names than the current title, concerns were also raised that the proposed titles might confuse readers. Ultimately, neither opinion seems to have prevailed over the other, leaving a situation where no consensus has formed.

Classic autism → Infantile autism – The article most recently provided this source for the term "classic autism" as well as some other claims regarding use of terminology (see this version), all of which the source does not appear to support. In fact, it does not even contain the term "classic autism".

While in these few cases the term appears to be consistently used to refer to the condition described in the article all mentions are in entries unrelated to the article's main subject.
Thus, I propose to move the article to Infantile autism, which is the name coined by Leo Kanner that is also listed as a synonym in the ICD-10 as well as the DSM-IV. This is a well-established name that emphasizes the status as a "classic"/"prototypical" variant of the syndrome/diagnosis and does not give preference to either DSM or ICD.
