Change it from getting the misconstrued "a$$burgers" that's been holding us back.

Go back in history, and change that Austrian's last name, before he discovers it.

I vote for Kicka$$

Well, let's not change it just yet... My book is titled Assburgers!

But, in all seriousness - I know people here are joking - I've developed a system of use, correcting Hans and Kanner's mistakes, applying a mathematical value to autistics under the working name "Neurobiological Divergence Scale".
I'll refine the name to be more palatable upon release, and I expect this system to replace the usless, stereotyped and redundant autism/asperger/pdd banner.
Perhaps I'll even name it a syndrome in my name.

If I find however coined aspergers' name to the limited, much wrong research he did to describe us, I will have to hit them. Might as well call the sun "big sky fire spinny round earth"...

I suspect he had ADD/ADHD, not ASD. Granted, I know I still have yet to read Einstein's Cosmos...

Read the rest of einsteins work, I'd suggest. Nobody but a bad gambler could disagree at that point! I don't much like the pacifist, but obviously AS behaviours cannot be denied.

What? Aspergers? It's named after Hans Aspergers, the so-called "discoverer" of that kind of autism; I fail to see why his name was opted for such, his research was limited and primitive.

He'll still be in the Wikipedia page, but I doubt (if he was here today) he would have the cruelness to make aspies today mistakenly identified w/ @$$burgers.
