Sure. Why not?

Nothing wrong with it.

It would be more of a history of "autism awareness" than a "history of autism".

Autism doesn't change much. But the way folks think about autism has changed over time in the last almost 100 years since various researchers discovered various bits and pieces of the autism spectrum ( Russia's Sukhereva, Austria's Dr. Asperger, and America's Kanner, et al ).

It's definitely an interesting website but it is still a bit lacking in information.
And it is frustrating to read as all resources on autism history are and will be, just because it is so heavily lined with abuse.
