Talk:Asperger syndrome

ICD-10 and 11
Please keep in mind when updating the article to aline with ICD-11 definitions that implementation of the newest ICD revision may in some countries take many years/a decade and the ICD-10 definitions will be used for many years to come. If anything, an update should contain both ICD definitions and a discussion on how and why it has changed. 2A02:2121:60C:6E14:14A3:EECC:AD08:F67F (talk) 08:45, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

Do not merge
I vote no merge with Autism - DSM isn't law, some doctors use the term Temerarius (talk) 17:24, 15 May 2024 (UTC)


 * I don't see that a merge is being discussed? DonIago (talk) 17:57, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Please take this to the discussion on Autism spectrum, the talk page there is where the merge is being considered. With Love from Cassie Schebel (talk) 22:27, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I believe that the article needs to be cleaned of outdated sources and written based on sources that consider Asperger syndrome as a historical concept. There is no need to merge - the article Autism should not be oversized. Reprarina (talk) 21:32, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Please see the comment above yours; this isn't where the discussion is occurring. DonIago (talk) 00:49, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

Better discussion why it is contradicting that asperger do not have normal level of empathy
Aspergers may get lack of empathy, due to conflicts or traume; this is what Hans Asperger and other resarcher observed. People with bad general cognitive development or bad emotional development through childhood, may have problem processing emotions and thoughts in a proper way; aspergers that do not have emphatic skill, may have been wrongly diagnosed - due to lack of proper general cognitive development. If one look at csikszentmihalyi's flow model, apathy arises when skill level is low; and slides over to anxiety (social anxiety), when challenge becomes bigger. Such anxiety, that is evident through lack of empathy, is a pinpointer to problems related to general cognitive development.
