No. Not real. It is no longer a diagnosis. That means it is not real. Your link even says it “formerly described” a disorder. Do you know what “formerly” means?
And your self-diagnosis is also meaningless. Even psychiatrists do not self-diagnose.
If we change the name of something or the category it belongs to that doesn’t mean he underlying thing doesn’t exist.
Also, I know what formerly means.
It’s the first link that explained the difference I came across.
Wait, do you think people can not have mental retardation? What?
Ok, here Wikipedia instead:
“Mental retardation, also known as intellectual disability, a disorder characterized by significantly impaired cognitive functioning and deficits in adaptive behaviors.”
Well, I do believe I have ADHD, OCD, maybe autism, Schizoid PD (NOT schizophrenia) maybe more.
So yes. I very much so believe it has something to do with it.

You are absolutely wrong it’s 100% real it just got merged into the ASD (Autism spectrum disorder). Please do research.
I see, you don’t know what “formerly” means.
i see you don’t know what most of the words in this thread mean
Do please educate me.

Oh, okay, then I guess people are still ‘retarded’ and not ‘low-functioning autistic.’
this, however, i am all for
People can absolutely be retarded or low-functioning autistic or perhaps both.

Wow.
And your evidence for that is a website for an app.
Jesus.

And now you’re lying about what’s on Wikipedia.

Furthermore-

Did you think I wouldn’t check?
Changing the name didn’t change the reality, jfc
You do know that scientific terminology changes to reflect accuracy, right?
That’s not the argument you were making.
That’s exactly the argument I was making.
dude that is wayyy too hard for people
You guys might really be autistic based on how pedantic this thread has become.
Very cool based answer to any truth finding debate bro thanks

it’s not us being pedantic, it’s reality. In reality, a thing can be redesignated and not be made unreal by the act. Sorry! It’s inconvenient I know.
that is not what that means and the word “formerly” has nothing to do with it and you’re kinda being an asshole
So doctors diagnose people with a diagnosis that is no longer used in the DSM to diagnose people? That is what you’re saying?
Those doctors are committing malpractice.
Please give me their names so that I can report them to their medical boards.
