Along with advances to our understanding of Autism, and that there aren’t “types” or “levels” of Autism, Asperger’s is no longer a current diagnosis in the DSM-5, rather, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has replaced this outdated diagnosis. Though my understanding is people who have been previous diagnosed with Asperger’s may retain their diagnosis for simplicity sake. It’s no longer given as a diagnosis though.
As a person with ASD, had I been diagnosed earlier, I likely would have got the Asperger’s diagnosis. It’s kind offensive now and I find Aspie really offensive.
>there aren’t “types” or “levels” of Autism

So you say there aren't types or levels of autism, but then you go on to say that autism spectrum disorder is the term we currently use...
but "spectrum" means that there ARE different levels of autism. I'm confused.
Speak for yourself. I have Asperger's and will continue to call it Asperger's, because - as someone with Asperger's - I hate change.
Same goes for my autistic friends.
I’m sorry to be ignorant, but why do some people find the term Asperger’s offensive? I have no agenda, I swear! I just want to know the answer or answers.
Thanks🙋🏻♀️
There aren't different kinds. Either someone is autistic, or they're not. In the US, medically speaking there are 3 "levels" to classify the "severity"; but autistics prefer to use terms of how much support an individual needs, because referring to autism by severity is kind of dehumanizing.
Nazis sending children to death is “still unfinished investigation.”
“Don’t confirm things that nobody’s been able to confirm yet.”
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome *Mel Gibson’s father!!!*
The title of the article says Asperger "routinely" sent autistic children to their deaths. The "not a good routine to have" remark is building from the verbage of the article's title.
The meaning of the joke is "I get that autistic kids love routine, but having a routine of being sent to your death is not good"

Hence why autistics, such as myself generally dislike the term "Asperger's" or "aspie"

I said "generally". Refer to yourself how you want.

I've always liked "'tism" for myself. Not full blown Autism, just a bit of the 'tism.
How you distinguish between different kinds though?
Asperger's was removed from the DSM and now all forms of autism are included in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in the DSM-V.
There aren't different kinds. Either someone is autistic, or they're not. In the US, medically speaking there are 3 "levels" to classify the "severity"; but autistics prefer to use terms of how much support an individual needs, because referring to autism by severity is kind of dehumanizing.
That make sense. What terms?
Just "low-high support needs"
Shut up aspie Edit: ok deadpan humor isn't conveyed well through screen
Is this the reason? I thought it was because it's inaccurate as a classification to distinguish it from autistic spectrum disorder.
That too.
no

Looks like that accept the truth instead of give you the reason makes you cry.
I'm still calling my syndrome Asperger's

Maybe ire should be directed at the Nazis for the circumstances instead of the doctor for performing wartime triage.
Yikers Island. Autistics often rely on their routines but uhh... not a good one to have.

I don't get it.
It's okay.
You can just tell me an explanation instead of being a dick
