thread_title:  DA van Krevelen 

message: This article contains the statement: A person with Asperger's is often remarked as possessing masculine traits like emotional distance from the inability to empathize, and far more boys than girls are diagnosed with Asperger's. it is interesting to note in this context that Simon Baron-Cohen has expressed the view that it is an expression of the "Extreme Male Brain". 
See "The Essential Difference: Men, Women and the Extreme Male Brain" ISBN 0141011017. This seems to coincide with my personal experience... Soarhead77 (talk) 15:33, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Asperger's and "maleness" 

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :History of Asperger syndrome's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "Lyons":
From Hans Asperger: 
From Autism: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 23:55, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Orphaned references in [[:History of Asperger syndrome]] 

message: I don't know where to find references for it and thus won't add it myself, but I think there should be a section comparing the disorder to the old concept of "eccentricity". 63.3.9.1 (talk) 21:05, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Eccentric" 

message: I propose that the article "Marc Segar" be merged with this article "History of Asperger Syndrome" as the Segar article is lacking in content, and much of the information concerns the history of Asperger Syndrome rather than the individual it is about. Furthermore, this person, Marc Segar, is not a very notable person; it is not necessary to have an entire article dedicated to Segar when a mention in the "History of Asperger Syndrome" would suffice.Sdc3000 (talk) 22:18, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I have removed this text to talk because it goes off topic, and needs much better sourcing.  SandyGeorgia (Talk) 01:47, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merging "Marc Segar" article with "History of Asperger Syndrome" 

message: This article is not fully developed, and displays a short amount of history of Asperger syndrome. The history that is included in this article does not go into depth and fully cover that particular event or figure. There is no adherent flow form one part of history to the next. Overall, this article should describe every aspect from the history of Asperger syndrome, and the figures that shaped the findings of Asperger syndrome.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ho154095 (talk • contribs) 17:47, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

message: I think there could be some work done with the introductory paragraph for this page. The first sentence is choppy and does not flow smoothly when I read it out loud.  Also it throws out a lot of information all at once. I am going to work on it. Ho154095 (talk) 00:54, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

message: Kanner and Asperger described related syndromes at about the same time on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean, and it took some years before their readers and students put their contributions together. The Iron Curtain seems to have served as a greater barrier than the ocean, since Grunya Sukhareva's description of the same condition was unknown to most Western workers in this field until Dr Sula Wolff published an English translation of Sukhareva's 1926 German-language paper (in which her surname was hyper-Germanised to "Ssucharewa"). We are told that this was a translation of her Russian paper of 1925, but according to Charlotte Simmonds' (in her PhD thesis) that paper in the Monatsschrift für Psychiatrie und Neurologie lacks the extensive bibliography of the Russian original. The translated paper describes her male patients only: there was a second paper about the females. Sukhareva continued to work and publish in child psychiatry, but it seems that none of her later articles or textbooks were translated into English. Neither Kanner nor Asperger refer to Sukhareva, though it is hard to believe that they would not have had access to the two German language papers. Was it because she was a woman, Russian, or Jewish?

replies: text: There is much more about Sukhareva's work in the History of autism article. There may not be much point to duplicating it here as the History of Asperger syndrome. NRPanikker (talk) 21:01, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
