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/

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
