Edits Summary

I made several edits to the Wikipedia article to improve neutrality, clarity, and conciseness while ensuring the content remains balanced and informative. I reworded subjective or vague phrasing, such as replacing "complex" with a more concise structure and clarifying methodological flaws in intervention studies. I also adjusted overgeneralized statements about autism and education, making them more precise and avoiding assumptions about all autistic individuals. To maintain a neutral point of view, I revised sections on ABA therapy, presenting both criticisms from advocacy groups and support from clinicians. Additionally, I refined language around autism rights organizations to avoid bias and provided a more balanced perspective on differing views regarding intervention and acceptance. Lastly, I made minor copyedits to improve clarity, consistency, and readability throughout the article. Thejordanfox (talk) 03:31, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
