Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 16:45, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Talk:Asperger syndrome. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing.

Also, please stop spamming the talk page with an off-topic blog link. Please see Wikipedia:SPAM#How not to be a spammer; multiple editors have now indicated the blog link is not relevant. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 16:56, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

The Blog May Not Be Wrong, but It Is Still an Anonymous Blog

Dr. Simon Baron Cohen's AQ test is actually quite laughable, (I assume this it it: http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/9.12/aqtest.html). I'd done the test 3 times, with a score of 31, 29 and 32 (and of course, 32 is the point where an individual is considered AS). Although I've never been diagnosed with anything, I know that autism would be very unlikely, but that I probably have obsessive-compulsive personality disorder and perhaps schizoid personality disorder, which is something I've developed after a major depressive episode. The signs of autism are usually seen in early childhood, and these personality traits/disorders that I have wouldn't have been observed until recently (OCPD perhaps 4 or 5 years ago, and schizoid this year). I'd done this test (which is based on the actual diagnostic criteria of the DSM-IV) and had only met 2 of the criteria (useless movements and Lack of social or emotional playing, although the latter is also more recent), which goes to show how far Dr. Simon Baron Cohen's AQ test is from diagnostic criteria. So, the blogger may have a point in some instances, but Wikipedia still can't give him/her any credit. MichaelExe (talk) 19:12, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia! I am glad to see you are interested in discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Asperger syndrome are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you. Please read WP:RS, WP:MEDRS and WP:SOAP. Editors may use their own talk pages for unrelated discussions, but article talk pages are for dicussing changes to articles based on reliable sources, not blogs.
