I deleted the part on B-C theories being controversial, not because they are not, but because the reference did not provide any evidence of that, and is not enough to say that something is controversial to make it so. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aristotele1982 ( talk • contribs) 15:46, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
Maybe it's me, but it looks like the entire part on criticisms is based heavily on feminist scholarship and not on independent research. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aristotele1982 ( talk • contribs) 15:54, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
He is controversial. https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/blog/neurodiverse-age/202108/why-autistic-people-are-worried-spectrum-10k And hence has paused the study due to the outcry from the community. https://spectrum10k.org/statement-10th-september/ Characterizing members of the Autistic community as "feminist scholarship" seems inappropriate in light of these events.

This article will soon need updating. It was reported on the news today (Tuesday August 24 2021) that Simon Baron-Cohen is to be linked with a huge study of autistic people, looking at over 10,000 autistic people. He was on the Radio 4 Today programme today. If Wikipedia is to maintain its status as the world's most up-to-date encyclopaedia, it will need to follow the progress of this study carefully. YTKJ ( talk) 19:37, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
The inclusion of the wick seemed spurious, particularly for a biography of a living person, and could have easily been read as an indication that Baron-Cohen is associated with the eugenics movement. I've gone ahead and removed it as potentially libelous. 2001:56A:FB4D:5200:B62E:99FF:FEA3:D19A ( talk) 01:15, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
The first paragraph of the lead ends with "the key test of which was published in 2015" (emphasis mine), but I'm left wondering whether that should be "test" or "text". In addition, naming that key test/text wouldn't be out of place, I believe. What do others think? The Crab Who Played With The Sea ( talk) 16:48, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
