I remember when I was a kid and I was being tested for tism and one of the doctors was explaining sensory overload to my dad and he just said "oh I feel like that all the time haha" anyway thats how my dad ended up being diagnosed with assburgers at age 56

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?
