Hans Asperger

I  think no one is suggesting that people with Asperger Syndrome would have co-operated with the evil orders of the ***. as Asperger people can be disobedient.  Well people with Asperger Syndrome could cooperate and those who do not have Autism could cooperate with the ***.   Asperger people are not really Autistic but they have some of the traits of Autistic people.   Hans Asperger should have disobeyed the evil orders of sending disabled children to their death.  Really Hans Asperger should have emigrated to the USA before the war rather than carry on working under this evil system. I went to a talk in the Docklands area and the speaker was not sure whether Hans Asperger co-operated with the ***.  It is true if Hans Asperger had not carried out those evil orders he might have been arrested or killed himself.  I do hope they will drop the term ASPERGER SYNDROME.  May be call it Autistic traits instead.

I hear one or two sources are now positing a so-called borderline autism. Sub-clinical if you like. Again, autistic traits without actually being autistic. A spectrum that could encompass almost anyone to some degree......until the definitions on when it is enough of a problem to need to ask for support or special consideration for your needs.....well then opinion becomes......slanted. This borderline autism could be for those who could say that autism has touched their lives but it no longer matters. Possibly. 

There used to be PDD Nos of course. But maybe that came about because the Konner checklist for autism was too strict and meanwhile three were parents wringing their hands over children whose autism meant horrific issues at home, but we're still not autistic enough to qualify got help. 

In the past, I get the impression now that children who didn't fit the Kanber model close enough got categorised as suffering fromchildhood schizophrenia instead. And anyway Kanner's autism was classed as a psychosis. I remember watching a documentary in the 70's where that was clearly stated. Asperger's rescued children from the S word being applied to them, then. Or PDD Nos did. 

Since then I see the waters have Bern muddied again. with Oprah drawing attention to the plight of January Schofield, who was definitely.ity diagnosed with schizophrenia at 6. She had autistic_like obsessions with days and numbers, but also definitely had auditory and other hallucinations too.
