Change the name Jeremiah to Jemima, the name Jemima appears incorrectly as Jeremiah twice in the early Life section and possibly elsewhere in the article. the person whom this article is written about is named Jemima not Jeremiah. 2600:6C65:717F:DFA9:91D7:5CB4:1FC1:27B2 (talk) 22:25, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
PUF may have been autistic. There is a huge known overlap between non-binary identities and autistic people. Ability to quote huge passages, nontraditional thinking, implicit sensitivity to rough clothing, horse lover, special interest in religion, echolalia, these all point to the possibility of autism.
There is an entire half-paragraph citing Wisbey and Moyer, who are dedicated to erasing one of PUF's autistic traits, their preference for fine clothes.
It's not clear what you're requesting. If you have a reliable source that firmly attributes this person's behavior to a diagnosable condition, please mention it here. ~ Pbritti (talk) 20:27, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There are a handful of articles indexed on Google Scholar which mention both the Friend and autism; none of them so far as I can see put forward the suggestion that the Friend should be understood as autistic, or even that their behaviours are characteristic of people with autism. As far as I can tell this is just the IP's original research. One might alternatively argue that the ability to recall long passages was much more widely practiced in periods when literacy and book availability were both much lower than today and so most people didn't have large libraries to hand and were forced to rely on memory; there's no evidence that the Friend was particularly sensitive to rough clothing (even if the supposed preference for fine clothing is true, many people have non-sensory reasons for clothing preferences today and presumably in the past); liking horses is a common trait in people in general and not indicative of autism; the fact that the Friend had an unusual theology is at best weak interest of a special interest in religion in the sense that autistic people use it and non-traditional thinking is hardly indicative of autism in particular. The only trait which is especially indicative of some kind of neurodivergence is echolalia, but even that might be explained by several different causes of which autism is only one, and at any rate our article does not say that the Friend experienced it and again I can find no academic sources which support a diagnosis of echolalia for the Friend.

Not done Jeremiah is the name of the Public Universal Friend's father, and all four uses of "Jeremiah" in the article seem to correctly refer to him. Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 22:38, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
