This is Dave Seidel (same one mentioned in the article). I appreciate the effort you're putting into the page. However, the photo is copyrighted, as is the entire neurodiversity.com site (declared as such on the footer of every page). It is not licensed appropriately for Wikipedia, and should be removed. -- DaveSeidel (talk) 23:18, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Please don't be! It was done in good faith, but it's important to stick with the guidelines for images and permissions. Other than that, it would be a conflict of interest if I get too involved in this page, since it's about my wife. Following WP practices and policies should be enough, my approval or disapproval is not really relevant. -- DaveSeidel (talk) 12:57, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The article states "Their first child was diagnosed with autism in 2000." This is incorrect (it was not our first child who was diagnosed) and not supported by the source. DaveSeidel (talk) 20:07, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oops. Thanks for pointing that out, Mr. Seidel. However, the source (Autism's False Prophets, page 130) does say that one of your children was diagnosed with autism in 2000, though it doesn't say which one or if you had any kids before that (which it seems you did). Specifically, your wife is quoted as saying, "We got our diagnosis [of autism] in the family in 2000." Thus I have changed the sentence to say "One of their children" rather than "Their first child". If you think I should change it further, do not hesitate to say so. Jinkinsontalk to me20:36, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
