[QUOTE="buddy, post: 566660, member: 12886"] I completely agree and actually think it will never go away because it is almost cultural now (a good thing in my humble opinion, sort of a positive identity) and it has evolved into a loosely similar community to the Deaf community (but not the same, not a debate over that here ). I think embracing the qualities and challenges and self advocacy and peer support that comes with the term Asperger's is really valuable. I'd actually be sad if that went backward. In terms of medical support, I sometimes don't think people diagnosis with Asperger's get a fair shake. Sometimes the challenges are not appreciated as much by some people. I said on a different thread, in real life I suspect people will continue to use the individual terms ongoing. It just helps cut through some of the conversation and people can more quickly relate and offer support. [/QUOTE]
