You can use the term Asperger if you want.
I will however believe that you are happy with Nazi identification as a ‘child psychopath’ who thinks they are one of the ‘good Autistics’.
It has white supremacy written all over it.
“I was diagnosed with it“ is a weak excuse.

This isn’t to shame anyone it’s just cold hard facts of how I see this term.
Hans Asperger’s theory of Autism is continued on in research that has damaged the Autistic community for over three decades and allowed this book to be published stating Autistic people don’t have empathy. This myth still pervades society.
I mean even the guy who continued the theory realises it’s problematic: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-05112-1
Maybe when we are fighting back against eugenics and even pre-natal screening for autism, you could help by not contributing to the problem?
None of the symptoms of Autism say we cannot change our opinions, that’s some ableist garbage.
Rigid inflexibility to change isn’t this

One of the most common things about Autistic people is that we have hyperplasticity, meaning we can actually change the structure and function of our brains, even in old age. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1750946717301083
Here’s some good news about what that means: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25047996/
Hate how much the medical paradigm is lodged in my brain. ‘Symptoms’ should be traits. This is what happens when you read research all the time.
