			That has nothing to do with autism. Plenty of characters in media have names that are spelled backwards. [[User:SpecialEdKid\|SpecialEdKid]] ([[User talk:SpecialEdKid\|talk]]) 23:44, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

Does the Health Disclosure template fit here?: new section

	A rewrite would help tremendously. The section is convoluted and hard to read, and it has no direction. It might be best to use the DSM-V criteria instead, though, since it's better at describing modern Chris's behavior. Maybe divide the page into subsections based around the criteria, followed by examples in Chris's life. Also, removing "xxx is a symptom of autism" whenever it's mentioned in the text, because if something wasn't an autism symptom, it wouldn't be on the list. The DSM-V has two main criteria, Social deficits and Restricted/repetitive behavior, and several smaller criteria within them. Chris not only meets, but exceeds every point.

			The template says the page isn't a substitute for a diagnosis. But Chris is confirmed to have been diagnosed with autism. [[User:Hurtful Truth Level\|Hurtful Truth Level]] ([[User talk:Hurtful Truth Level\|talk]]) 20:10, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

Rewriting the symptoms section

	As it is, the symptom section is broken into rough sections with bullet-point symptoms that are also complete paragraphs. Instead of this strange piecemeal approach, I have another way that should preserve the underlying idea. I actually have a print copy of the 1987 DSR-III-R, which most likely would have been the edition in use when Chris was diagnosed, and would not mind going through its list of symptoms and showing how Chris meets Autistic Disorder's formal criteria, with examples (Classic and recent) like in the current article. Would this be worthwhile?

	It's debatable. Autism is caused by a combination of hereditary factors, genetic mutation, and physical environment. If Chris's was genetic, then it's unlikely that it was inherited, as no one else in the family had clear signs of autism.		It's debatable. Autism is caused by a combination of hereditary factors, genetic mutation, and physical environment. If Chris's was genetic, then it's unlikely that it was inherited, as no one else in the family had clear signs of autism.
	Based on my rusty knowledge from AP Biology, if Chris's autism was genetic, then he would likely have had a small, yet rare variation in the lettering sequence of his DNA transcription. Humans usually have a couple letters in their DNA transcription varying from the regular mean (~1% of the RNA). However, rarer mutations usually lead to more serious consequences, Chris being a possible example (not proven). It should also be noted that offspring of two parents aren't exactly products of the parents' genes blended together; while they do inherit traits from their parents, but they also have their own individual traits as well. In other words, the creation of offspring is a lot more complex that Mendel would've wanted it to be. In Chris's case, his autism probably an inherited cause, even if it was genetics.
