Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The conventional medical paradigm conceptualises autism in terms of biologically derived functional deficits.

    “In the field of autism science, the conventional medical paradigm is – and has long been – the accepted orthodoxy in this field, conceptualising autism in terms of biologically derived functional deficits, and thus placing limits or boundaries on what we can know about autism and how we are able to know it (Kuhn, 1962).”
  • This is a major shift that has revealed fundamental problems in the conventional medical account and its inability to explain away what Kuhn called the 'anomalies' at its core, and the possibilities imminent in the neurodiversity paradigm.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
