Hi @[[User:Xurizuri|Xurizuri]], I saw that you performed the split of this article from [[autism]] and that you mentioned lengthy and complicated discussions. Can you (or anyone else reading this) point me to the discussion where this title was picked and/or literature that demonstrate that "classic autism" is a widely used term for the condition described in the article?--[[User:TempusTacet|TempusTacet]] ([[User talk:TempusTacet|talk]]) 18:07, 14 June 2023 (UTC) |

:{{u|TempusTacet}} Oh god it's been so long since I looked at this. Honestly, that wasn't really the main thrust of the argument, so from memory it wasn't discussed in any particular detail. The primary conversation was also split between multiple threads in a truly horrifying way, but they seem to all be in [[Talk:Autism spectrum/Archive 3]] and [[Talk:Autism spectrum/Archive 4]]. It also affected and was influenced by conversation on other pages, particularly on the WikiProject (starting from [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Autism/Archive 1#Merge request: autism/autism spectrum]]). Enjoy! If it comes up, my vote is to not use specifically "Kanner autism" because I've never heard that term outside of these articles. --[[User:Xurizuri|Xurizuri]] ([[User talk:Xurizuri|talk]]) 07:06, 22 June 2023 (UTC) |

Origin and use of the term "classic autism"
The article most recently provided this source for the term "classic autism" as well as some other claims regarding use of terminology (see this version), all of which the source does not appear to support. In fact, it does not even contain the term "classic autism".
I have failed to find a source that shows "classic autism" to be a regularly used term. Google Scholar produces just a little more than 4,000 publications that include the term, some of which are likely to refer to non-syndromic autism, which is also sometimes called "classic autism". Compared to the 75,000 publications that mention "autistic disorder" (the name of the diagnosis in the DSM-IV) and the 68,000 publications that mention "childhood autism" (the name of the diagnosis in the ICD-10), that's minimal. The Encyclopedia of Autism Spectrum Disorders contains no entry for the term (not even the equivalent of a Wikipedia redirect) and just a handful of mentions, two of which are in quotation marks. While in these few cases the term appears to be consistently used to refer to the condition described in the article all mentions are in entries unrelated to the article's main subject.
Hi @Xurizuri, I saw that you performed the split of this article from autism and that you mentioned lengthy and complicated discussions. Can you (or anyone else reading this) point me to the discussion where this title was picked and/or literature that demonstrate that "classic autism" is a widely used term for the condition described in the article?--TempusTacet (talk) 18:07, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
