Ms Katelyn Warren:

There is generally a lot of misinformation about autism. In my experience on my podcast - I have ten episodes currently - on one of them, I talked about different types of misinformation, for example, phrases that people should not use and outdated terms and symbols and why they should not be used. For example, we should not say Asperger's any more because even to this day some people still say it. I have heard people still say it. They say it without knowing the origin behind it. The origin being that Asperger's is no longer used because around 2010 it was discovered that the guy that Asperger's was named after, Hans Asperger, an Austrian physician who did case studies on autism, was complicit with the Nazi regime and was committed in the child euthanasia programme in Am Spiegelgrund clinic in Austria where 800 children died from 1940 to 1945. A lot of people still do not know that information and that we should not use certain terms and symbols. It is prevalent online to try to get that misinformation erased.
