The article attempts to cover a variety of phenomena in one article: for example, violence against autistic people, self-harm behaviors, outbursts, and intentional violence perpetrated by autistic individuals. However, as pointed out on the talk page there don't appear to be sources that cover these phenomena as a group, meaning that the article's linkage of these things is essentially original research. While it would be possible to split the article, unfortunately it was a straight translation from French Wikipedia which does not require WP:MEDRS sourcing. No one has checked the references and a lot of them do not appear to meet MEDRS standards; the content cannot be kept without valid sourcing. There is no obvious redirect target.

• Delete. I've described why this article is problematic at length at Talk:Violence and autism. To quote myself, "the article in its current state creates/suggests connections that are not backed by any literature. This is already evident from the fact that the article never defines the term "violence" and uses it in various different meanings throughout the text without distinguishing them." Neither the translator nor the organization who paid the translator have shown any interest in potentially resolving the issues.--TempusTacet (talk) 01:33, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
• Delete I think an article could feasibly be written on this topic. However it would require WP:TNT and there does not seem to be the impulse to do that. There have been clear issues with this article from the start on en (no fault of the translator) but they have largely gone unresolved even with the attention given. Even WP:ATD specifically notes that If an article on a notable topic severely fails the verifiability or neutral point of view policies, it may be reduced to a stub, or completely deleted by consensus at Wikipedia:Articles for Deletion., and I think we're at that point here. —siroχo 02:34, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

• Delete. Highly problematic article with various unresolvable issues, eg. not defining the term "violence" in the title; what should have been a minor section in autism spectrum is unnecessarily elongated into such an unprofessional article,
