Transferring section:Abnormal redox metabolism

I will also move this section to Mechanism_of_autism. The evidence presented ties redox metabolism disturbances directly to metabolic, genetic, mitochondrial, and environmental factors involved in ASD, suggesting it is part of the underlying pathophysiology rather than a separate condition occurring alongside autism. Since redox imbalance is being framed as contributing to ASD symptoms through oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, it fits better in the Mechanisms of autism article rather than a comorbidity list, which is more appropriate for independent medical conditions commonly seen alongside ASD (like ADHD, epilepsy, etc.).

Once again, I'll give this article some time, and if nothing happens, I'll continue my scrutiny. It feels a bit lonely here though... Lova Falk (talk) 10:17, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Removing section: Nonverbal learning disorder

The 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)[reply]
