Which diagnosis would you choose for your child?

I don't fit your criteria but Hans Asperger allegedly colluded with the *** so I wouldn't want to be referred to as having aspergers personally. 

Does that justify a school destroying their collection of books about Asperger Syndrome at the behest of left-wing governors?

Sorry I didnt see your question. No, I think books should just be updated, retitled, include new information etc. 

I'm a fan of updating, not erasing. And we can learn a lot from history so no point pretending it doesn't exist entirely.

I'm a law graduate so I learned to always look for the most current piece of legislation to reference. After all, we once considered being gay illegal or raping your wife to be perfectly legal but we have moved on now. I'm sure if Asperger had been in Hitler's position and come up with the theory we would be cringing at the name "Hitler's Syndrome" and most of us would not want to identify that way. I'm extending that to Asperger, but if people have always identified that way then I understand why they wouldn't want to necessarily stop doing that. 

The question was which diagnosis would YOU choose, not which we think EVERYONE should choose. As for parents choosing for their children, who cares? It isn't their diagnosis and shouldn't be the ones choosing their identity anyway. 

There is a big question whether Britain should go down the road of the US and use DSM for psychiatric and mental health conditions, and ignore ICD despite it being the keeper of the codes for DSM.
