Here’s why. Asperger’s Syndrome is still a common, official diagnosis in many countries. In other countries, those who have been diagnosed decades ago may also have been diagnosed with Asperger’s.

We will not deny anyone the right to identify with their official diagnosis. We have no control over how medical conditions are named or renamed. Please try to separate the diagnosis from the person it was named after.
