Asperger's syndrome: Difference between revisions

'''Asperger's Syndrome''' is a  Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) that can contribute to someones [[inceldom]]. The diagnosis was previously distinct from ASD, but was subsumed into the broader diagnosis of ASD  in 2013.<ref>https://iancommunity.org/cs/simons_simplex_community/dsm5_and_asd</ref> The original diagnosis of Asperger's syndrome was dependent on the subject meeting the criteria for a certain level of autistic symptoms such as social deficits and obsessive interests without concurrently experiencing a developmental delay or suffering from an intellectual disability.

People with Asperger's often experience difficulty socializing and blending in with [[normies]], largely due to being bad with emotional recognition and expression, with the condition sometimes being co-morbid or conflated with Prosopagnosia (face-blindness).<ref>https://www.psychologytoday.com/au/blog/my-life-aspergers/201303/how-much-aspergers-is-really-face-or-emotion-blindness</ref>

 

There is debate in the autistic community as to whether or not high-functioning autism in particular should be treated as a health problem or not.  The "neurodivergent" or "neurodiversity" crowd argue the label is flimsy, stigmatizing, or they imply autism is good/neutral.  Those opposed to the "neurodivergent" and "neurodiversity" movements claim that these movements downplay behavioural and social issues often found in those diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders.
