Disgusted

https://www.autism.org.uk/about/adult-life/resources/asperger-united/new-name.aspx

If the folk at the NAS are so easily swayed by some whiny emoting from a tiny minority of folk that seek to deny history, I don't know that I can be bothered to read the thing any more. 

There was nothing wrong with the old name. It matched my diagnosis. 

To avoid a load of pointless arguing, no, I really don't care what Asperger did, or whether he ate peeled, salted babies for his breakfast. 

On a balance scale between logic and fact, versus the emotional burden of the entire human race throughout history, logic and facts must tip the scales every single time, or humanity is lost. 

Yes, some people won't like it. So what?

  • Um... Greetings... Through some sort of Cosmic Coincidence, although I was not going to post today, I found out that this Thread was about ASPERGERS UNITED, and I currently have a sort of loyalty to this.

    I am glad that someone else has begun a Thread about this Topic, the voting upon which closes August 31st. I do not know if AU are aware of this Thread, however. And, one of the things I have of late wanted to do with my letters to AU is to try to link AU to this "Online Community"... For in places AU is for those of us who cannot access the Internet at all. (Yes including myself even as I am here, but I cannot EMail and my devices are "old".)

    ... Had I not said all of that waffle, there, I would say that I do not know what to say about this Thread, really...! (I suggested and voted "Autism United" about one month and then three days ago.)
