Wikipedia standards for notability for people state that the individual must have received coverage in multiple published secondary sources.

Sources cited for this article include:

Material uploaded on the subject's own blog; Newsweek article in which the subject was only one of many individuals discussed; 2008 public radio story conducted by a radio producer who is acquainted with the subject; NPR article on the subject's decision to donate his brain tissue to science on death (i.e. it was not specifically about the subject's life and achievements);A book written by the subject's sister Melanie Mitchell; A brief mention in a book about a more general subject; NY Magazine article in which the subject is one of many individuals quoted; An LA Times article written by the subject; A Spectator article written by the subject; A blog article written by the subject; A blog article that briefly cites the subject's opinions; A brief mention on a single page of a longer book; An article written by the subject in Autism Parenting Magazine; An opinion piece in the Huffington Post;A letter to the editor that happens to mention the subject; A podcast in which the subject is one of many individuals discussed; An article from the subject's blog

Out of 16 sources, 6 are written by the subject and one is from the subject's sister. Most other mentions are either opinion pieces, or the subject is merely one individual of many discussed in an article about a more general subject (i.e. different views about an autism cure, brain tissue donation). This does not suggest that the subject has received substantial attention in secondary sources. Wiki standards specifically state that trivial coverage of sources may not be sufficient to establish notability.

The subject also does not meet the notability standards for creative professionals (writers). Their work has not been cited frequently, won significant critical attention, etc.
