PDDs vs ASD

Post Reply New Topic

I wonder why Asperger syndrome or pervasive developmental disorder -not otherwise specified is gone? It can explain why I am autistic and mature at the same time.

It's an interesting podcast as to why PDD turned into ASD overtime

The audio clip is interesting. Thanks!

Two (unimportant) reactions from me:

(1) It sort of explains why high-functioning Autistics often are above average intelligent. Above average intelligence was not a symptom of Autism but rather Autistics with above average intelligence are more likely to be able to function sort of adequately in public.

(2) I heard that the Nazis decided that all Autistics should be exterminated and hired Hans Asperger to test children for Autism so they would know which kids to kill. He pushed back and said they should not kill all of the Autistic kids because there were higher-functioning kids who were useful and should be allowed to live. So his pushing back saved some lives. If he had not taken the job someone else would've and then the higher-functioning kids would've been killed.

I'm not upset. You are expanding my education.
