  • Many autistic people want to be accepted for being "who they are" and take pride in being neurodivergent.

    “Many autistic people want to be accepted for being “who they are” and take pride in being neurodivergent, a term (alongside neurodiversity) used to describe differences in the way people think, with diversity in the brain an important and celebrated part of human variation (Cage et al. 2016a; Humphrey and Lewis 2008; Hurlbutt and Chalmers 2002; Jaarsma and Welin 2012; Robertson 2009).”

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.
