They were real people and doctors who lived real lives. I think you are being very disrespectful to them, to their memory and to their families. I personally think it is wrong to speak ill of the dead.
Hans Asperger is actually the doctor that
Asperger Syndrome is named after!
Please read the 'History of Autism' by Steve McGuinness see link:
https://www.autismuk.com/home-page/history-of-autism/
It doesn't sound to me like you read the link I sent you properly. You don't seem to know much about the history of Autism or the history of Western medicine (allopathic medicine).
I think you mean
leeches not lizards they were used in medicine to help to try and heal wounds amongst other things.
People with Autism and Asperger's do NOT sit around all day drawing pictures of naked dudes and smoke Cannabis. Where on earth did you get that idea from?
I'm very much against the use of street drugs such as Cannabis. Those sorts of drugs are actually
illegal here in Britain! Also I don't drink alcohol at all and I don't smoke.
I don't like swearing at all there really is no need to swear to get your point across!
Medical care is free here in Britain. I have NEVER had private medical insurance the
NHS does a brilliant job!
I personally think the
NHS is one of greatest things about living in Britain! I think if you are a British citizen you should have more respect for the
NHS and more respect for
Cambridge University which is one of the
finest universities in the world!
Cambridge University is where Professor Simon Baron-Cohen is based. Maybe you could write to Simon Baron-Cohen and he could explain to you more about his work? You could explain to him that you think he is a con artist or a scam artist. I'm sure he would be happy to reply.
Which university did you study at by the way?
At least our NHS medical care is free! You have to
pay to become member of the 'Church of Scientology' which is actually a dangerous Cult and what is more it doesn't save lives like our beloved
NHS does! My advice to you is to stay well away from Scientology.
Whist the history of Autism goes way back to the Eighteenth century.
Paul "Eugen" Bleuler born April 30th, 1857 who was a Swiss psychiatrist is thought to be responsible for the first use of the term
Autism around the year
1910 (or maybe a couple of years earlier?) as he was defining symptoms of schizophrenia patients. He derived the word
Autism from the
Greek word
'autos' (meaning
'self'),
Bleuler is also recognized today for having a different neurological disorder called Synesthesia, in which the main senses of the human mind (touch, taste, smell, sight, hear, pain, color, graphemes, etc.) are ‘mixed up’.
Bleuler died in Zurich on July 15th, 1939.
The word
Autism first took its
modern sense around the year
1938 when
Hans Asperger of the Vienna University Hospital adopted
Bleuler’s terminology in a lecture in German about child psychology.
Asperger was investigating a form of
ASD now known as
Asperger syndrome (AS), though for various reasons it was
not widely recognized as a
separate diagnosis until
1981. Asperger syndrome is thought to be more "mild" than full-blown Autism.
To prove to you that
Paul "Eugen" Bleuler was a real person who really lived this is his Wikipedia page:

To prove to you that
Hans Asperger was a real person who really lived this is his Wikipedia page:

Leo Kanner's Wikipedia page (he is another key figure in the history of Autism):

To prove to you that
Jean Marc Gaspard Itard was a real person who really lived this is his Wikipedia page (by the way I like his name I think it sounds really 'French'!):

If you read my previous post carefully- I explained
Callisthenics is gymnastic type exercises see Wikipedia page for more info:

This is an interesting article about Scientology called "
Scientology: The Thriving Cult of Greed and Power" see link:
https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/Fishman/time-behar.html
The info you have have told me about Scientology is really disturbing and upsetting if it is true. Sending a powerful electric charge to someone who is Autistic is very cruel! Do you know if there is a way we can stop this from happening? There is
NO known
cure for Autism. That will definitely
NOT work or help. It very upsetting to hear that things like that go on out there! These people have lied to you and have brainwashed you. You must be so upset about this. I'm praying for you. xxx
By the way I don't think I am confused. I thought you seemed confused because you thought all elderly people have Autism which isn't true.
Having disability benefits is actually cheaper than the alternative which is to go back to the Victorian days when they had the big
asylums and disabled people and the mental ill got
institutionalised. "Care in the Community" is actually cheaper! Also there are lots of disabled people who have paid jobs and also voluntary jobs! You don't come across as very socialist in your thinking or very understanding of how tough things are for people in our society with all kinds of different disabilities. This shows we still have a long way to go.
