Conditions comorbid to autism spectrum disorders

Thank you very much for your edit, but you may want to shrink it down to the bare essentials and post more information on Conditions comorbid to autism spectrum disorders if it is not already there. Generally this is what is done with subsections of articles that have more information in another article. —Soap— 01:19, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your suggestions! I did not realize there was an entire page devoted to comorbidity with ASD's. I will update this section soon with the essentials as you suggested.

Nikki and Alex, you've done a great and thorough job with this page. It reads well and flows logically. You are both concise and comprehensive in the material you outline. Overall, great work! My suggestions would include:

1) No need to cite in the first paragraph (as per Wikipedia guidelines--these can be found under the Help tab)

2)Is there a page you can link to echolalia? Either way, provide an extremely brief explanation of what that is (like in parentheses) because it's the only "technical" word in a series of more understandable symptoms.

3) Is echolalia delayed in children with ASD, or rather is is prolonged past the developmentally appropriate stage? Make this a bit clearer.

4) In the Classification section, refer to the DSM-IV as the source of this criteria, especially since you jump to DSM 5 in the next section.

5) When discussing the structures of interest (i.e., frontal lobe, mirror neurons, limbic system), include links to these structures if they exist.

These are minor edits, but overall you two did a wonderful job :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cynthialpierre (talk • contribs) 20:42, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
