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.

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.
I agree with Aidie that the explanation is outdated and fundamentally wrong.
Asperges, Classical autism and Pervasive Developmental Disorder was incorporated into a single diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder. because professionals and researched found major crossovers and similarities among the three disorders.
People with Aspergers, Classical autism and Pervasive Developmental Disorder where and are still diagnosed with a level of support needs that can range from 1 to 3. Support level of 1 being minimal support needed and support level 3 being support need indefinitely to support day to day functioning.
Support levels are not the diagnosis just a suggestion of the care needed and in many cases that individuals who are diagnosed with support level 1 need extra support and go through stages of ability and inability.
The term high functioning with any medical diagnosis is harmful because it makes people believe that it is possible to function with a disorder and plays down the severity of the struggles.
Individuals who were diagnosed with aspergers may still used the term asperges as it is was what they were diagnosed with it before it was incorporated under the autism spectrum disorder diagnosis. Which was the right solution because even among individuals with asperger their was was a spectrum on how it manifested and affected individuals differently with exemption of certain traits and gave way to false perspective of what a person with autism/aspergers should look like and behave. this is shown clearly throughout the media in the last how many years starting with rayman and continued to tv shows like Atypical and the big bang theory and reality show candidates for show such as "love on the spectrum" and undatabels which all show very similar substandard type on autism.
I'm learning alot today it seems, I've been saying I have autism since my assessment.
Maybe this could be the reason I have been finding it an impediment to finding work.
I do have dyslexia and dyscalculia I don't know if that makes me more autistic than aspergoir.
I love Anthony Hopkins a joy to watch. I didn't know he was a member of the aspergers club.
People will argue yes. With autism you can have a lot of additional needs, epliepy no speech communication difficulties. I imagine people view asperger's as not as serious but it is dependant on how the traits affect you. Anthony Hopkins the actor has asperger's so he was able to succeed but it would be interesting to know his story.
