We all knew that wikipedia articles are subject to the arbitrary bias of the entreched cabal of editors. Past attempts to introduce legit, well-sourced info about asperger's and neurodiversity has been systematically scrubbed off articles there.

Now, they're scrubbing the Talk pages where people just talk about the article!

On the neurodiversity article, someone mentioned that neurodiversity is a "fringe group with a media presence at best."

Another editor replied that the neurodiversity tribe is HUGE, pointing to wrongplanet.

Embarassed, wikipedians deleted the whole discussion. See links below (scroll to the bottom).

Before (from archives) :

After (current version):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Neurodiversity

Anyone can edit it, so just edit it back, if it gets undone then do it again. Maybe set up some bots until they get the point.

Neurodiversity is a thing of the past, its genetic diversity that is the cool thing now. I mean, most neuro conditions including AS are genetic based, so if we promoted genetic diversity... But that's not what they are saying, and they are just reaching out to crush us. If they had stated my first statement, it wouldn't be as big of an issue

Here's a good idea, stick a link to this: http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Neur ... l_syndrome on that article, or do a copy/paste thing :P

It wasn't a wikipedia admin, it was a random user, since his justification is BS, feel free to add that discussion back.

This is a flaw with wikipedia's software, it does not have an actual way to discuss stuff, it is ridiculous that the talk pages are just another wiki page and you have to manually sign it, ~~~~ can't think of anything more laughable than that.
