About a criticism section[edit]

I see autistic advocates on the net repeatedly speak out against this bill for reportedly funding cure development and maybe development of technology that would detect autism in fetuses, which in turn are spoken out against by neurodiversity advocates as something akin to a final solution (my words based on comparisons between the consequences they describe of such developments and actual instances in history).

I don't know how true these allegations about A-CARES are, and I don't know where to start looking, but I do think that an encyclopedia about autism topics should at least look into this kind of thing. If it's true or false, we should at least give it a passing mention with some good sources, unless it's not notable enough for the purposes of this page in an encyclopedia. (This could be said of a number of autism pages on Wikipedia, I'm just mentioning it here because this is where I am now.)

To wrap things up I don't know much about WP's policies and guidelines, or a sense of when/how IAR should come into play. In any case I'm not sure I want to do this all on my own, as I've got strong opinions on this and WP ain't the place for that, but I do think we should double-check if this is notable, again, for the sake of making a better encyclopedia. If this is already talked out elsewhere on WP please direct me to that talk page or whatnot in a reply or so.
