Autism or Aspergers

Lorna Wing the founder of the NAS (this organisation ) brought the term into standard use in 1981 and the American Psychiatric Association brought on to the standard diagnostic coding in 1986 but the removed it in 2015 with WHO support. The real reason had nothing to do with Nazi stuff. I think the Americans didn’t like the fact that an English female psychiatrist had brought the diagnosis into common use and developed services for neuro diversity!

An Indian doctor who has worked in the US told me that the reasons are more sinister than this and entirely centres around the American population.

I'm fascinated to know the sinister American reasons......

The Americans always were good with self praise and egos

The doctor is not convinced that AS is genetic, judging from his findings.
