Overall: Extra content and less dependence on quotes is a vast improvement. Looks good to me. Seddontalk 22:59, 9 March 2024 (UTC)reply
Hi,
Seddon! Thank you for your review! May I ask why you indicated that you feel the article "follows a structure identical" to the Psychology Today article? Looking at the PT article, only one paragraph discusses Asasumasu. Do you mean that the section about Asasumasu coining the term neurodivergence is too similar to the PT article? If that's the case, I can certainly rephrase that section.

I have now expanded the article with a couple of additional sources so that it reaches over 1,500 words not including quotations. I have also tried paraphrasing some of the quotes.

Nationality
I think replacing Hapa Asian
autism rights activist with American
autism rights activist would be more compatible with
MOS:CONTEXTBIO. Is there a reason that we'd like to avoid that here? Unrelatedly, this citation[1] for the fact that she's Hapa Asian seems wrong, it's mentioned nowhere in the cited book and this book has less than 198 pages.

I agree. — VORTEX3427 (

I agree, @
Streded. Even if a lot of sources mention her ethnicity, it shouldn’t warrant more than a sentence in the ‘personal life’ section. —

I changed the first sentence as I proposed. I haven't fixed the citation since I don't know what exactly was the intended source.
Streded (

I approve the phrasing of "American" in the lead with a mention of her ethnicity in the personal life section. She is described as "Hapa and Asian American" in
this article in The Conversation.
