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?
I was wrong.
There is something wrong with the name Asperger Syndrome. It has nothing to do with Asperger's political beliefs, or how many disabled kids he might have had murdered.
It is now clear to me that Asperger and Kanner both plagiarised earlier Russian work by Груня Ефимовна Сухарева.
The condition needs to return to one of these two names:
1) schizoid psychopathy
2) autistic psychopathy
Personally, I like these terms even less, but they are the most historically accurate terms we have.
