ASD or Aspergers or Autism - what am I?

Hi people

I'm still coming to terms wirh my new diagnosis as a 47-year old dad! What I wanted to ask is how do people with ASD/Aspergers/Austism diagnosis label themselves and to others. I'm a bit confused and not sure which is the best description.

Thanks

  • I've always considered that if you're capable of hiding in plain sight, then that's more Asperger's.       And by hiding I mean holding down a complex job, probably having relationships etc.

  • Yes, I agree but from my reading I understand the term Asperger's itself has been discredited due to his links to the Nazi euthasia programme. 

  • That's all based around a US smear campaign to get the US system accepted worldwide -  eg:   Only US-printed books allowed - which are changed very slightly every year to force all students to have to buy new books as the syllabus changes to reflect the new books.

    It's a MASSIVE scam through every subject in US education - and of course, anyone who disagrees with this corruption is clearly a N4zi sympathyser - knee-jerk emotional blackmail.

    What's annoying is there's always someone who feels the need to tell everyone he was associated with 'left-wing Germans'
