Autism or Aspergers

I know that no one should be labelled by a thing one phrase just checking what the communities views are using the word asperger's given it has fallen out of favour with medical community given connections between the namesake and the nazi party.

?? Explain please, I'm really oblivious to all the labels that are given, it becomes a struggle to keep up with who or what is call this or that.

But this seems intriguing, what's the Nazi connection?

A doctor name asperger's was one to first discover the diagnosis for it and it was discovered he had been connected with the nazi party so some people are not using his name. I use the term asperger's at is is assessed by psycholosit as this and not autism. I am not one for labels but if I told someone I had autism they would think I am lying whereas when I mention asperger's they tend to be OK with that.
