  A lot of people I hear this whole time people say dude, the
• 0:26
  term Aspergers isn't a thing anymore.
• 0:27
  I'm like look, but let's be frank, People want to know, does
• 0:32
  a term Asperger still exist? Well, yes, of course.
• 0:34
  A term will always exist if it's existed once.
• 0:36
  It always still exists a word. You can't just just disappear a
• 0:39
  word by saying. That's it.
• 0:41
  No more word anymore. Okay.

  first, just to make sure that everything's kosher.
• 1:24
  OK guys, let's get on with the video.
• 1:27
  But the most interesting thing about it is that the term
• 1:30
  Aspergers isn't used in two of the main diagnostic protocols
• 1:35
  for diagnosing autism. It used to be used in the DSN
• 1:39
  and used to be using the IPCI think the other one's called,
• 1:42
  but both of those took them out, one in 2013, the other in 2019.
• 1:45
  But since then what we've been left with is a bit of a muddle
• 1:48
  really. Of everybody who was diagnosed,
• 1:51
  Asperges still have that diagnosis and still refers to it
• 1:55
  as Asperger's syndrome. But anyone who is coming up now
• 1:58
  and would be diagnosed Aspergers and now being diagnosed with
• 2:00
  waters and spectral disorder, which is the new term that they
• 2:03
  kind of pushed together for autuminfection disorder.
• 2:05
  Now the reason they did this, there was no other reason than
• 2:08
  to help people who had the term Asperges diagnosed gain access
• 2:12
  to support and help. Where it was criteria is for
• 2:16
  people who needed the term autism to be on their diagnostic
• 2:18
  criteria. Now let me said it doesn't mean
• 2:20
  that anybody who is being diagnosed with Asperges is no
• 2:23
  longer valid. They're still valid.
• 2:25
  They still use that term. There's a big who are within the
• 2:27
  community. I did a big video on this and
• 2:29
  I'll try and link it down below. Or you can check back to my
• 2:31
  channel and check for the Asperges series and there's a
• 2:35
  big Hoover about people saying people getting on each other's
• 2:37
  nerves and kind of getting a bit, I don't know, we're not
• 2:40
  uptight but kind of really defensive and very stern and
• 2:42
  militant about the term Aspergers and the use of it and
• 2:44
  the reasons why you shouldn't use it.
• 2:46
  But to answer the question, yes, Aspergers is still a term, but
• 2:49
  also less people being diagnosed with that term.
• 2:52
  Now it's normally now just it's only now just waters and special
• 2:55
  disorder. And I hope and that clears that.
• 2:57
