When I tried to create an account with the name "Assburger," it was already taken. First of all, what sick bastard is using such a cruel name. Second, who is this guy? Does he ever post?

if he is such a sick bastard for having that name, then why did you want that name? Wouldn't that make you the sick bastard?

Asperger sounds like ass burger. Why did he have to name it after himself, anyway? Ego? Damn. If I had a dollar for every time I was called "fairy" because my name is Larree! The Name Game was a huge hit song when I was a kid. I could kill that songwriter, but, I digress... The first time I heard the name Asperger I though it was ass burger, too.

He didn't.
Quote:
Asperger died before his identification of this pattern of behavior became widely recognized, because his work was mostly in German and barely translated. The term "Asperger's syndrome" was popularized in a 1981 paper by British researcher Lorna Wing, which challenged the previously accepted model of autism presented by Leo Kanner in 1943.

I don't know if it's more respectable that way. If you pronounced Tourette's as "tow-ret-tees" it wouldn't be respectable, people would just think you didn't know what you were talking about.
