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?

  • Greetings from myself. I know that this is now a sort-of "forgotten" Thread and I missed the point of it before... but I was wondering about this new-ish definition for "Aspergers" and if anyone objects to it as well...?

    ASD-Level1 (Aspergers)

    ...or, ASC-Level1 (Formerly Aspergers)

    ... This Term was stated upon a Thread in this forum recently, but when I stated an interest, they edited out what I quoted. My reason for Posting here is that there must be some official term which people can agree upon, please...? I myself do not mind using Autism, though, but that is to keep things simple (for NTs and officials to follow). Also, please re-read this entire Thread before commenting, anyone, so as to not just go around in circles, sort of.

    In advance, I mean no offence to anyone (ASD vs. ASC, for example). And this is the link to the page which I mention:
