• 0:23
  this whole time people say dude, the term Aspergers isn't a thing
• 0:27
  anymore. I'm like, look, but let's be
• 0:30
  frank, people want to know, does a term as if it just still
• 0:33
  exist? Well, yes, of course a term will
• 0:34
  always exist. If it's existed once, it always
• 0:36
  still exists. It's a word.
• 0:37
  You can't just just disappear a word by saying that's it, no
• 0:41
  more word anymore. OK, so before we get any
• 0:42
  further, just want to say thank you to today's video sponsor.

  Brilliant now. Brilliant is a non prescription
• 0:48
  homeopathic medication that I use specifically for ADHD, but
• 0:52
  you can use it mainly for things like anxiety and stress and
• 0:55
  reduced feelings of restlessness, irritability and
• 0:57
  impulsivity, which is also a really good bonus.
• 1:00
  Now the cool thing is that this actually helps increase focus
• 1:03
  and concentration, which I think is awesome and it's completely
• 1:05
  like there's no nasties in it. This is not addictive.
• 1:07
  It's super supernatural. So you can get your hands on

  brilliant, consult your doctor first just to make sure that
• 1:23
  everything's kosher. OK, guys, let's get on with the.
• 1:26
  Video. But the most interesting thing
• 1:28
  about it it's that the term Asperger's isn't used in two of
• 1:33
  the main diagnostic protocols for diagnosing autism.
• 1:37
  It used to be used in the DSM and it used to be used in the
• 1:40
  IDCI think the other one was called.
• 1:42
  But both of those took them out one in 2013 and the other in
• 1:44
  2019. But since then, what we've been
• 1:47
  left with is a bit of a muddle really, of everybody who was
• 1:51
  diagnosed with Aspergis still has that diagnosis and still
• 1:54
  refers to it as Aspergis syndrome.
• 1:57
  But anyone who is coming up now and be would be diagnosed with
• 1:59
  Aspergis and now being diagnosed with water and spectral
• 2:01
  disorder, which is the new term that they kind of pushed
• 2:04
  together for water infection disorder.
• 2:05
  Now the reason they did it was no other reason than to help
• 2:09
  people who had the term Aspergis diagnosed gain access to support
• 2:13
  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 like I said, it doesn't mean
• 2:20
  that anybody who is being diagnosed with Aspergers 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 just go back to my
• 2:31
  channel and check for the Aspergers series.
• 2:33
  And there was a big Hoover about it, People saying people are
• 2:36
  getting on each other's nerves and kind of getting a bit, I
• 2:39
  don't know, not uptight, but kind of really defensive and
• 2:42
  very stern and militant about the term.
• 2:43
  Asperge is in the use of it and the reasons why you shouldn't
• 2:46
  use it. But to answer the question, yes,
• 2:48
  Asperge is still a term, but also.
• 2:50
  Less people. Are being diagnosed with that
• 2:51
  term now it's normally now just it's normally now just water and
• 2:55
  special disorder and I hope that clears that.
• 2:57
