Talk:Tantrum

message: In the tantrum article, the writers refer to autism as an intellectual disability.
It is in fact a neurological condition and does not affect the intellect primarily.

replies: text: These are common but ignorant attitudes toward autism; only Tchannon's comment is enlightening.  Suffice it to say that some autistic people can have an intellectual disability, but most do not.  Is autism a mental illness?  The term "mental illness" does not appear in either the Autism article (which is a featured article) or in the Autism spectrum disorder article.  I don't think autism should be highlighted in the tantrum article any more than any other disorder should be, otherwise it's POV. Midtempo-abg (talk) 21:41, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

message: "Usually tantrums are seen in children of the ages of 3-6 but sometimes 7-9; this is a very clear case of emotional disinhibition caused by immature forebrain development." This needs a reliable source, such as a textbook or journal article. Otherswise it should be removed as original research. I have seen tantrums by those older and certainly younger than the specified age range, and manifestations of anger are likely to originate in parts of the brain other than the forebrain.

message: I've just chopped this article substantially, for what I hope are good reasons. The majority of this article made rather wide-ranging 'psychological' claims that have seemingly remained uncited since 2007. The language was also unnecessarily verbose and dense.
