 * WP:N is not established in the article although she is an author. Not everyone who writes a book or two is WP:N.  This person G-tests pretty well. So she may be notable.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 01:19, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Zero Gnews hits, does not meet WP:BIO. THF (talk) 01:54, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Weak keep I'm torn on this one. She is clearly a presence on the popular "autism circuit", presenting at many conferences and such. On the other hand I could find only two peer-reviewed articles with her name on them in PubMed, and her book Children with Starving Brains may be self-published (the publisher Bramble Books offers several options including publishing-on-demand, self-publishing and textbook publishing). On the other other hand, that book is in its second edition and is cited 15 times per Google Scholar. The book is often cited admiringly in Google hits, but those citations are all from blogs and online reviews and such - not mainstream sources. Overall I'd say keep. --MelanieN (talk) 22:47, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete. Certainly not notable on the autism circuit, compared to genuine notables such as Rick Rollens, Bernard Rimland, Bob Wright, Simon Baron-Cohen, Paul Offit, etc., etc., etc. There are thousands of publications about autism: merely writing a book about autism does not make one notable.
