Asperger's Syndrome was a diagnosis used to describe high-functioning Autism. It was named after Hans Asperger. It came to light that Hans Asperger was a terrible person so the reaction was to completely remove the diagnosis. This is a terrible idea. I fully understand not wanting a diagnosis named after a Nazi supporter, however, removing the diagnosis was a terrible idea. Currently, both high-functioning Autism and low-functioning Autism are considered the same diagnosis and combined as Autism Spectrum Disorder. However, this is a step backward. High-functioning and low-functioning Autism are very different in terms of effects. That coupled with the fact that we do not know the cause of either makes it very probable they are different disorders that were associated with each other due to lack of knowledge. This isn't the first time a diagnosis was changed for political correctness. Mental Retardation Syndrome was changed to Intelectual Disability due to the words related to it being used as slurs. However, they still maintained the diagnosis and simply changed the name. This is what I propose for Asperger's. We have multiple people who worked on it. We have Lorna Wing who popularized the term and Uta Frith who wrote the first English book on the disorder. I suggest we rename it Frith's Syndrome due to Frith not having an associated controversy, being the biggest influence in the diagnosis' early history, and also her achievements and advocating for the advancement of women in science. As someone who was diagnosed with Asperger's before it was removed, I feel very strongly about this. We should not go back to the time when any disorder with similar symptoms was automatically considered the same disorder. We have progressed past that time and we should not allow science to regress due to overcompensation. I agree that we should strive for equality but sacrificing the equality of one group for another is not okay. We should strive for the equality of all of mankind, not just the equality of one group.
