Talk:Robert I, Duke of Parma

message: Maria Pia died, that's clear. I don't know her age. But I'm very sure, the child was a girl and named Augusta. The references are given on the bottom of the article.

replies: text: Maria Pia died at the age of 33. There are apparently conflicting references about the sex of her last child; references for both "positions" are given. - Nunh-huh 14:40, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  The last child from the first marriage 

message: She was deaf and died umarried. Henrietta was the only child from the second marriage with an illness. 
Does somebody know, what illness the children from the first marriage had ? --AndreaMimi (talk) 13:58, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Princess Henrietta from the second marriage 

message: According to this post at alt.talk.royalty, by Guy Stair Sainty, Fragile X syndrome was the likely reason Robert of Parma had so many retarded children.  Does anyone know of a scholarly source I could cite for this point? Coemgenus 21:26, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Disabled children 

message: I gave the informations about his children in a table. And in the article of his wifes too. 
Now it looks better for the eyes. ;) 
Sorry, I havn't all the birthdays and deathdays, but I try to research and post it as soon as possible. --AndreaMimi (talk) 15:23, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Family 

message: The table of Robert's children refers to several of them as having learning difficulties. This appears to be overly euphemistic and in fact inaccurate, given that elsewhere in the article they are described as being mentally retarded. A learning difficulty would be something like dyslexia, which is a very different situation. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:05, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: On June 28, 2010, an anonymous editor changed "was mentally retarded" to "had learning difficulties". Noel S McFerran (talk) 02:12, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Noel, would you recommend that it be changed back? --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:04, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed all the references to "learning difficulties" because of the inaccurate euphemism situation discussed above. I suspect that the appropriate description should be something like these individuals having been mentally retarded, but (a) I don't have sources for that, and (b) this is a sensitive subject that I don't want to treat inaccurately. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:43, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
