WP is currently defined as "The online resource and community for Autism and Asperger's".
Since Asperger Syndrome is a form of autism, writing "Autism and Asperger's" is like writing "United States and New York".

I suggest WP becomes "The online resource and community for Autism Spectrum Conditions".

^You have a point however it would for the whole Autism Spectrum. There are people who have other Autism Spectrum Disorders but they really haven't complained about a lot nor do they mind it either.

KenG, this and your other post about the name would fit better in WP.net discussion.

Netting the subject topic

Does a mod move this and the other "Name" topic?
