Asperger’s Syndrome named after a dude named Asperger.

Aspergillus named after a holy water sprinkler.

What a load of crap!

Asperger's Syndrome

1981, named for the sake of Austrian pediatrician Hans Asperger (1906-1980), who described it in 1944 (and called it autistic psychopathy; German autistischen psychopathen).

Asperger’s syndrome is no longer a stand-alone diagnosis. It’s now part of the autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In other words, people with signs and symptoms of Asperger’s receive an ASD diagnosis.

Escalation of the dose of itraconazole resulted in a complete loss of all symptoms of autism over the course of three months. This rapid complete reversal of autism is consistent with several articles proposing mold in general and Aspergillus specifically as a potential major cause of autism.

Aspergillus was first described in 1729 by Pier Antonio Micheli, an Italian priest and biologist who was the first person to attempt the scientific study of fungi. Micheli opposed the idea of "spontaneous generation" by showing that fungal spores grown on a medium would produce the same kind of fungus. The shape of Aspergillus (Figure 1) reminded him of an aspergillum (from the Latin aspergere, "to scatter"), a device used for sprinkling holy water during a liturgical service.
