You are invited to an October 2023 Neurodiversity Edit-a-thon 12-13 October, 2023. Event page: Wikipedia:Meetup/Neurodiversity/October 2023 My regards! Hexatekin (talk) 20:28, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Currently, the article on the condition first described by Leo Kanner as "autistic disturbance of affective contact" in 1943 and shortly after as "early infantile autism" (which the DSM-IV calls "autistic disorder" and the ICD-10 calls "childhood autism") is covered in an article titled "classic autism".

While this term is certainly sometimes used in the literature in reference to the condition/diagnosis, I have failed to find a source for this and have found that it is by far not the most common term used. I've summarized my findings at Talk:Classic_autism#Origin_and_use_of_the_term_"classic_autism" and would appreciate any hints or insight regarding the origin and use/prevalence of this term.--TempusTacet (talk) 09:37, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello everyone! I was wondering if anyone involved in the autism talk space would review this article for submission. It’s about Creativity Explored (CE), a nonprofit in San Francisco that hosts a day program for developmentally disabled adult artists. Located in the Mission District and Potrero Hill, CE functions as a studio-based collective, currently offering over 130 artists art supplies, training, exhibition and sales opportunities. CE is a 40 year old nonprofit that has a strong nuclear community and is a proud part of the broader disability community. It’s one of three sister organizations founded by Florence Ludins-Katz and Elias Katz, two trailblazers in the Bay Area disability rights movement whose legacy has led to CE operating with a person-centered thinking approach. I am an AmeriCorps VISTA in Community Development serving at CE so I wanted to disclose that and welcome any notes on bias and/or promotion that is inappropriate. I’d appreciate any time you take to look the article over and provide feedback, thank you! GeorgiaMKC (talk) 16:38, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This recent open access paper seems possibly useful as a source for a variety of autism-related articles. Here's the citation:

Pellicano, Elizabeth; Heyworth, Melanie (2023-08-08). "The Foundations of Autistic Flourishing". Current Psychiatry Reports. doi:10.1007/s11920-023-01441-9.
