Hello, I'm reporting a factual error on the Wikipedia biography page of Martha Herbert. In a section on Autism Speaks, she is identified as director of its Brain Development Initiative. There is no such initiative, and Dr. Herbert does not direct any initiative at Autism Speaks.

Thank you, Jessica Sachs director of science communications at Autism Speaks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.247.165.82 (talk) 12:21, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I think the Testimony section meets the BLP criteria of contentious material that is poorly sourced, and should be removed. The referenced blog is clearly biased and is not a primary source. Thank you. Bermuda Shirt (talk) 02:40, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, In the sentence "which described a patient with autistic symptoms who, she claims, improved markedly", I'm not sure "she claims" is accurate. I read the cited peer-reviewed article in JCN and it seems to me that the improvement was documented after the dietary change, but causality was not claimed, at least in this paper. Perhaps another reference could be cited where that claim is actually made, or change it to "...symptoms who improved markedly after..." or maybe a different wording that does not imply causality. Thank you for your efforts, Carrjones (talk) 03:16, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
