A Consensus Definition Wordle

If you've never made a Wordle, then you will enjoy this. I assembled definitions from 

  • DSM IV
  • OASIS
  • Web MD
  • Autism Speaks
  • Autism Society
  • Wrong Planet
  • National Institute of Neurological Disorders
  • Cigna Healthcare
to create the following image. I extracted the words "Asperger's, Syndrome, and Disorder. The result is basically a visual form of a linguistic frequency analysis with cousins as tag clouds and auto-summaries. This image makes clear what are the consensus elements of an Asperger's definition.
