Aspies... WTF?
If there's one thing I HATE, it's the nickname 'Aspie'. As a kid with Aspergers, I don't mind being diagnosed with a disease, but when there's a nickname like that going round, I just think it's making us out to be completely different from 'normal' people, and we're not a whole new race, we just need a little extra care.
Quoting: musicgamerpro 32655619 Agreed. I think the term is offensive and diminishes Asperger's completely. People don't make little nicknames up for those suffering from cancer, MS, etc. So why this one? If people want it taken seriously, then perhaps they should treat it as such. Quoting: Zuzu's Petals maybe because it's pronounced "ASS BURGERS" maybe we should uh... you know.. give a condition a name that isn't so goddamn humiliating?
