The dark history of Hans Asperger emerges, the doctor the disorder was named after.

Hans Asperger's Day

Reflecting on today what was celebrated as Hans Asperger Day in the past by myself and many others, this year in reflection, and a stark reminder of the man behind many of us with the diagnosis of Asperger's syndrome had left me unsettled. Last year I wrote my thoughts to one of those women's magazine's (well they contacted me about my thoughts on the revelations of Asperger's ugly past) and felt it fitting to post it today. Re-reading it, I still stand by my statements, you can't play god with another persons life, especially children, even if it means your own could be in jeopardy.
So for today, I will celebrate who I am as a person who has come to learn so much about myself, and actually accept who I am in a very positive and fulfilling way. Asperger's meant to me a discovery and an understanding of myself and it didn't mean I took on the history of the man who the name it was assigned to. I'm proud of who I am. my neurology and so should you!

Happy being you day! 💜💙💚💛🧡❤️

Except from the article....
“Asperger’s will always be a haunting reminder of the past and what we can learn from this today and to ensure it never happens again. You can’t play God with another person’s life. It will also be a term that gave a great number of people an understanding of who they are, giving them a release from the years of never fitting in, to a tangible context that they were not alone in the world, that they had a tribe they could connect to and grow with.”

Should we bin the term named after him?
