The task of finding an alternative name for what was formerly referred to as Asperger’s Syndrome is undoubtedly a complex and challenging endeavour. This challenge stems from the intricacies of capturing the essence of a unique cognitive profile within the broader autism spectrum while avoiding any unintended negative connotations or exclusionary subtext.

While the historical association of Hans Asperger with the Nazi regime has cast a shadow over his name, it is worth considering the case for retaining the term “Asperger’s Syndrome” and allowing the past to become a part of history. By recognizing the valuable contributions made by Asperger’s and acknowledging the unique experiences of individuals previously diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome, we can strike a balance between honoring the legacy and promoting inclusivity.
