I have been concerned for some time that [[List of persons with autism spectrum disorders]], unlike the responsible [[autism]] article on WP, is being used to push an 'activist' POV, such as can be found for example on the campaigning web site neurodiversity.org.
Each of the listngs there deserves separate research. I can't comment on them all. I happen to known Richard Borcherds, who is there; anyone who actually reads the Simon Baron-Cohen article on which the listing is presumably based will get the main point (which is that 'disorder' is a fairly notional concept in this case).
There is no simple 'diagnostic' for Asperger's, as is made clear by responsible professionals in the field. Some of the names there are self-diagnoses (for example Richard Stallman, as far as I can see). The whole aspie/geek connection seems to have been made fashionable by an article in 'Wired' magazine three years ago; anything that simply reflects that is unlikely to have encyclopedic value.
My principal concerns:
(i) listings could quite possibly be defamatory (certainly hurtful), and are made without any support;
(ii) Some of the listings based on media interviews with the Irish psychiatrist Michael Fitzgerald, who has a book "Is There a Link Between Autism in Men and Exceptional Ability?" to promote, seem to be complete dross (de Valera, W. B. Yeats because he obsessed over Maud Gonne ... puhlease).
