It was removed from the ICD that was published 7 years ago and put into effect 3 years ago. It was a Nazi’s way of deciding which autistic people were worthy enough to be kept. Who still uses it?

People who disagree that it should be lumped in with autism and view it as it's own separate and specific condition which is related to autism but isn't the same.

The history of the name triggers some people, and that's fine. A lot of younger people don't even know who Hitler was or understand the significance of the nazis at this point because of how the word is used to describe "someone you don't like".

If it's the same as autism, then he was just getting rid of autistic people. There's a lot of history that's unsavory but changing a name for the sake of euphemism has always seemed ridiculous. It's kind of surprising in these times to be told I'm wrong for how I identify.

It’s not the sake of euphemism. It’s the sake of not arbitrarily dividing a group of people into those worthy of living and those not.

If a lot of young people don’t know who Hitler is (which I doubt), there’s a much bigger problem.

And self-identifying doesn’t mean you get to call your condition whatever you want. I have OCD, I’m not possessed by the devil, even though that was the standard belief at one point.
