Movement proposal

I would like to move this article to Institutional syndrome and where necessary, in the article exchange the word institutionalization for institutional syndrome. The reason is simply because this term Institutional syndrome is used for the syndrome that can be a result of institutionalization - that is, being confined to an institution. Unless anybody has good arguments against this, I will move the article, but not sooner than 9/6. Lova Falk talk 14:38, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. rʨanaɢ (talk) 15:43, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

I'll do it! Lova Falk talk 17:51, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Remove Romanian Paragraph and Shawshank Redemption Quote

I suggest completely removing the paragraph containing the information about the Romanian adoptees (which was originally added in 2012 with no edit summary). It provides no detailed information on when the adoptees mentioned were either institutionalized or adopted and seems to just copy text wholesale from the abstract of the cited 2005 paper (including the phrase "symptoms of autistic behavior," which is word salad). It also incorrectly states that there were eight study participants (the abstract says there were 80 participants who averaged 8 years of age).

Further, neglect does not cause someone to become autistic (although it may make an autistic person less able to mask their traits or engage in self-regulation), and the "Post-Institutional Autistic Syndrome" mentioned in the paper is not now nor was it ever a recognized diagnostic term in the DSM or ICD. I question whether the cited source even meets Wikipedia's standards for medical reliability (especially due to its age and the substantial advances in the understanding of the autistic neurotype and the transformative changes in diagnostic testing and criteria).

As for the Shawshank Redemption quote, this is a Wikipedia article about a serious medical topic, not a social media page where it's appropriate to plaster out-of-context quotes from one's favorite movies. The quote adds nothing of substance to the article and does not not belong there. DoItFastDoItUrgent (talk) 05:56, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
