"However, self-identification using the Asperger label became much rarer (going from 51 percent in 2018 to 19 percent in 2022, according to one set of polls) following the publication of the 2018 Edith Sheffer book Asperger's Children. The book revealed that the label's namesake was complicit in the [Nazis' murder of disabled children]"(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_eugenics "Nazi eugenics").

from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asperger_syndrome

The medical label is ASS the cultural one is neurodivergent.

Asperger colluded with the nazis, in his defense he rationalised that either all his patients would be killed unless he did something. But what he did speaks for itself.

He started differentiating between genius autism “asperger” and dumb autism. He displayed how his personal favourite patients where cabable of high level economic work of benefit to the reich. saving them, sacrificing all the others.

Under his collaboration he send of dozens of children deemed “untreatable” or “lacking community spirit” to be murdered trough lethal injections. He wad deemed a fully trustworthy cog in the nazi regime.

He also didn’t believe autism could exist in girls but later did show doubts. Still all clinical testing is still focused on the male form of autism and many women go undiagnosed because of it.

to add to all - the name fucking sucks. It's sounds like ass-burgers, it doesn't say anything useful, it's not descriptive and it's just some questionable dude's name. If anything deserved to be renamed it's this.
