Removing section: Nonverbal learning disorder
editThe section has no information about comorbidity with autism, nor does the source. Furthermore, when I look for a source that NVLD is comorbid to autism, I only find that there is a great deal of overlap between both conditions, with some even describing NVLD as a “mild” form of autism. (Doty, Nathan (2019). "Nonverbal Learning Disability". The Massachusetts General Hospital Guide to Learning Disabilities: Assessing Learning Needs of Children and Adolescents. H. Kent Wilson, Ellen Braaten. Cham, Switzerland: Humana. p. 103. ISBN 978-3-319-98643-2. OCLC 1080078884.) Thus, when people with autism also have NLVD, it is seen as part of their autism and not as a comorbid condition. Lova Falk (talk) 13:25, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
Suggestion: grouping of sections
editThe current way this article is organized makes sense from the standpoint of a list of comorbid conditions, with information about the comorbidities. However, I think it would look more polished and be more informative if we would first group by categories of conditions, then order by alphabetical indexation; indeed, I think expressing it as SQL-style pseudocode makes sense. Anyway, this might require that we find information regarding the groupings in relationship to autism, and also it would be good if we locate WP:MEDRS precedent for this type of grouping. I note that apparently it was not seen as very optimal to distinguish the conditions between mental and physical ones. BlockArranger (talk) 12:19, 17 August 2025 (UTC)
- This article has even more WP:MEDRS issues than the autism article ever had, and much of the information that is sourced is outdated. Honestly, I think it would be more efficient to rewrite the article completely. LogicalLens (talk) 05:52, 18 August 2025 (UTC)
- Well, if you would agree, I wouldn't mind all too much if we began by removing some of the content lacking adequate sources. Afterwards, it might emerge more naturally what would make sense. BlockArranger (talk) 13:31, 26 August 2025 (UTC)
