Have you read Autism spectrum? Please let us know if you have a more specific question that article and the others it links to don't address. Rojomoke (talk) 15:47, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Source of Relationship Information[edit]

What sources are used for relationship information of living people? For example, while marriages and family are pretty common knowledge and often acknowledged in published biographies or articles, what sources can be used for people who are dating? It often seems like I see that information on Wikipedia but no where else. Are there specific guidelines in regards to sources for relationships or does it fall under the same guidelines as other biographical information?159.142.146.1 (talk) 17:30, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It has to be reliably sourced, just like anything else in Wikipedia articles. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 00:58, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, though I'm sure this is an area we struggle with (among many!). People who follow celebrities have an intense interest in who is dating whom and there is no end of speculation in tabloids about that topic. That conjecture sometimes sneaks into Wikipedia articles. If you see such claims and they do not have a reference to a reliable source, you may remove those claims (or find a source yourself and cite it). Much of that stuff constitutes trivia anyway.
