Change the name of Asperger's Syndrome to Type 1 Autism.

Created by C.G. on February 25, 2013

The name "Asperger's Syndrome" enables bullying towards people with the disorder. Since it is an autism spectrum disorder, it should be named as such. The disorder is already a problem.. Why should people with the disorder have to suffer even more? People with this disorder feel ashamed to admit having it, because the name to the immature mind comes out as: "Assburgers."

Please change the name so the people who suffer from this disorder will have less of a burden in their daily lives.
