I'd say either "Autism" or "Autism Spectrum," with one serving as a redirect for the other. UsefulNotes.Aspergers Syndrome can also stay as a redirect.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
I'm helping!
While they're strictly speaking the same thing, we think UsefulNotes.Autism Spectrum will make it clearer that this covers what would once have been diagnosed as "Asperger's"
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.
And you can still be diagnosed with Asperger's in some countries because only the American DSM merged it with the autism spectrum. Greta Thunberg (who is Swedish), for example, was diagnosed with Asperger's in 2014.

Seconding, just as long as it's Autism Spectrum and not Autism Spectrum Disorder with the Disorder part as some have suggested elsewhere due to it coming off as Unfortunate Implications.
Very Spooky

Agree with merging the pages. Both UsefulNotes.Autism and UsefulNotes.Autism Spectrum are fine names IMO, but consensus seems to lean towards the latter.
Keet cleanup
If we do merge, let's keep Autism and Asperger Syndrome as redirects.

I'm pretty sure we can't cut them (and I personally don't see any reason to), due to a combination of inbounds and searchability (the latter has almost 40,000 inbounds; the former probably has less due to originally being a redirect before it was swapped with UsefulNotes.High Functioning Autism as the main name).

Bump. Have we definitively decided to do anything with these pages yet?

Pretty sure consensus is to merge into UsefulNotes.Autism (or maybe Autism Spectrum Disorder?) but keep all the old names as redirects.

What needs to be done here?
Merging the pages and redirecting.

Bumping. Any progress?

Started by copying the Asperger's article into the new title, could someone help me merge the two articles?

I guess we can create a Sandbox for now to combine the two?
Is this a matter of pasting the contents on Autism on Autism Spectrum (above the Asperger's description currently on the page)?
Last I saw about the pages there was a lot of redundancy, plus some tone and personal voice issues that would need to be remedied rather than just mashing them up together.
Crown Description:
Merge appears to have consensus, but I think we need a crowner on what the article name would be.
