  • New and long enough. Hook is cited in the article and verifiable in the sources, which are also clearly reliable. Article is neutral and there are lots of inline citations, all to reliable sources. Hook is short enough, no issues with copyvios, QPQ is done. The one concern I have is that some of the stuff in the article now isn't sourced: specifically, some of the stuff in the "autism" section. The article cited as a source [1] is paywalled, so I can't read the full text, but it doesn't mention autism in the abstract. Please fix this so that everything in the autism section is verifiable in a cited source. Also, per WP:CITEFOOT, references should be after, not before, punctuation like periods and commas, so that should be fixed too. Every morning (there's a halo...) 03:04, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
    @Everymorning: Thanks, I've removed the uncited bit at the end of the Autism para, and added a quote that mentions autism from here. Also fixed the punctuation. utcursch | talk 03:21, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
