G'day,

Have imported the Autism article from Wikipedia--it was a decent article at one time but has become a dumping ground for POVs and advocates. I am in a slash and burn mode, deleting large sections of unsourced and not infrequently inane prose. I need help with the data box on the right uppper hand corner if anyone here would like to give me a hand. Let me know what you think we should do with it. Thomas Simmons 13:32, 20 March, 2007 (EPT)
