to:
\\\'\\\'Literature/TheHungerGames\\\'\\\', because it doesn\\\'t explain anything beyond \\\"this character might have autism\\\". Again, someone else should rewrite it.

\\\'\\\'Literature/TheGiver\\\'\\\'. Again, \\\"This character might have autism\\\" with the added bonus of \\\"and people thought autism was rarer when the book was written\\\".

\\\'\\\'Series/CriminalMinds\\\'\\\'. Some progress here because at least the mention of autism is justified by characters speculating in-universe. It still doesn\\\'t show how his personality could be considered weird.

\\\'\\\'TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}\\\'\\\'. Could anyone explain exactly how someone with the Pariah gene acts weird? Because the example is not doing it.

Deleted:

\\\'\\\'Series/{{Hannibal}}\\\'\\\'. The protagonist admits he\\\'s an autist. If there\\\'s ambiguity then that\\\'s artistic license or poor research, but definitely not the trope.

A few mentions of \\\"a popular fan theory is that X character has autism/Asperger\\\'s/any other issue\\\" which are not part of the work and thus should go to maybe Fridge brilliance or WMG.

A pothole to HollywoodAutism in \\\'\\\'VideoGame/BioShockInfinite\\\'\\\'. In which part of the game does it say that the Lutece siblings are autistic? It must be a DLC because I\\\'ve never heard that.

\\\'\\\'WesternAnimation/AdventureTime\\\'\\\'. The Ice King is odd, I will give you that, but saying it\\\'s all because of dementia and that is portrayed realistically is not the trope. The example should say something about his child-like behaviour, his obsession with kidnapping princesses, and the like.

Rewritten:

\\\'\\\'WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants\\\'\\\': It doesn\\\'t matter what an actor or writer thinks of a character. We are here to talk about weird behaviour. [=SpongeBob=] is certainly weird but the example didn\\\'t explain how, just that he was apparently popular with autistic kids.

\\\'\\\'Franchise/DragonAge\\\'\\\'. Speculation about ADHD and autism.

\\\'\\\'WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}\\\'\\\'. Made things clearer and moved the quote to the Quotes subpage.
