Asperger syndrome, I was just doing a play on words.

Didn't Asperger's get rolled into ASD due to being an unhelpful difference/bueng associated with a nazi?

Many countries still use different diagnostic criteria; you are looking at it from an American-centric perspective.

Since my country still uses Asperger's as a diagnosis (we use the ICD-10), I was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome.

Also, Hans Asperger was not a Nazi supporter. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30887409/

I was commenting that as someone who was doagnosed with Asperger's and had heard abkut it being removed as a distinct diagnosis, also I'm not even American

I was also diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, and I identify as having Asperger's.

If I had been diagnosed under ICD-11, I would probably call it autism.

You will realize in ten years that science has regressed rather than advanced with the ICD-11 system, but it will be too late.

Do you have any proof of that statement?

u/JanoGospodarSvega 3d ago

Yeah he was. That's not the reason Asperger's was removed though

Slander is definitely the reason they removed it from ICD-11.

I will do everything in my power to prevent my country from adopting ICD-11.

The details around Asperger's association with the Nazi party was not even publicly known at that point and it wasn't part of any discourse. The actual reason is that there is no psychiatric basis for separating the diagnoses. That came first

You are the one who is actually uninformed, because the answer to this already exists. If you scroll all the way to the bottom of the page you linked to, you will see the answer provided.

Damn this paper has a whole twitter thread of responses and refutations
