Aspergers is traditionally associated with being high-functioning enough to be put to work and not go to the death camps. So “level 1’s” and stuff. Of course my understanding of the term is probably more tainted than most. My boomer Dad feels really superior for being “aspergers”, unlike those lowly non-asperger autists. Also have ran into self-identifying aspergers types who are younger with similar attitudes.
