Prisoners are part of the state. They contribute and they consume. They should definetly have the right to vote.

I mean it wasn't meant seriously, but I can understand why you might take it that way.

(we decided as a group that we didn’t like having our mental status named after the Nazi scumbag that tortured us to come up with our diagnosis)

I'll digress from the post a bit here... I can appreciate what you're saying, but this is a wild distortion of what occurred to reclassify Asperger's Syndrome as ASDL1. This is not what happened or why it was done, and there is no credible evidence that Hans Asperger himself was a Nazi or that he tortured anyone.

Again, I appreciate where you are coming from. This story, although many people believe it, is not at all correct. But yes, his work to understand and determine the nuances of autism was used by Nazis to determine who would be killed and who wouldn't. He did cooperate with them, but whether he doomed a group of people or saved another one in that situation is a matter of perspective.

And I personally don't think we should change the names of the things that might be rooted in darker history, regardless of the actual events, well-understood or not. Not simply for the sake of it (again, that's not why it was done in this case). That begs us to forget things that need to not be forgotten. Maybe part of why we find ourselvse repeationg our mistakes as humans.

Speaking, of course, as an autistic person myself.
