Autism or Aspergers

These are interesting facts.

I suppose as time goes by the label will change from time to time. 

But the journey of the who have these conditions will alway be described in the same way, he discovered ones who were smart, isolated and like little professors.

To clarify hans asperbergers didn't discover asperbehrs he was researching children with who he discovered ones who were smart, isolated and like little professors. He was similar to Leo kanner. Asperbehrs was not recognised at its own label until the 1990s.

At no point have I said that asperger's is not part of the spectrum. I am stating my view that ordinary people tend to imagine autism as children in special units not someone working for a living or who can live on their own but underlying their are autistic traits that pose their own unique diffucktes for that person. 

Well I guess that's why I tend to stay away from contentious subjects like labeling.

It seem to be to unstable to affirm.

sorry, absolutely not, this is wrong,  aspergers is part of the spectrum.

Dr hans asperger was not the first to discover 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. 

Thank you Daithi, I never even wondered about the etymology of aspergers. So is Autism regarded as more serious a condition than aspergers? 

I was only diagnosed 2 years ago at 43. Worked in a good job. Was taken back

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. 

ok Daithi is explaining 

?? 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?
