The user who created this page is known to display a particular bias against people who criticize the use of the "medical model of disability" for autism spectrum disorders. As such, I have concerns about this page, including the use of the terms "severely autistic" and "profoundly autistic"; the words "severely" and "profoundly" are connotative, not neutral (as opposed to words like "nonspeaking" or "dyspraxic"). I would also point out that the play was not criticized for not showing a milder form of autism. Nothing in the cited article says that; it's completely false.

I've made a couple edits, but I'll return to make some more. In addition to the above, I also believe that the entire last section is unnecessary. I'm pretty sure we don't need a rehash of what the autism spectrum means. There's a Wiki page for that.
Also, lines such as "the autistic character in this play is at the severe end of the spectrum, and this disturbed some people in the neurodiversity movement" are, again, false. How the character experienced autism was not what was upsetting to the "neurodiversity movement." Once more, nothing in the cited article supports this assertion of fact, and I am suspicious of the term "disturbed."

Just for clarity, I'm not suggesting the entire page is useless; just that there are some spots that need reworking. Anomalapropos (talk) 18:30, 14 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
Further update from me: I've basically rehashed most of the information on the page, and I think it looks okay. If there were any responses from the cast and crew of the play to the criticisms in the very last section, I think those would be a good final addition for the moment.

Sounds good. But just to let you know, most details should be cited, see WP:VERIFY. Also, 2606:5580:30C:7F9E:54FD:FFA1:4069:2EAA was me under an IP, I just forgot to log in. Ylevental (talk) 11:57, 15 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
