I'll start.

1. We are all introverts (I'm an ambivert)
2. We can't talk (mention fighter aircraft and you'll see exactly how much I talk)
3. We all don't care about how we look (I care a lot)
4. We can't get buff/aren't attractive (I'm pretty muscular, and girls seem to like me )
5. When you say "it went the way of the dodo" we ask "where did the dodo go?" (needs no explanation)
6. We will die alone (I hope this isn't true)
7. We are all defenseless (I can stand my ground against bullies in verbal arguements)
8. We can't be into non-"aspergery" things (I like heavy metal and fighter jets. No, NTs aren't the only ones into "macho" things)
9. We all are "wusses" (I can suck things up and do them, even if I have my ticks)
10. We are all supergeniuses (Well, this one is true for me :D)

All Aspies are psychopaths in disguise! :x

All Aspies are real-life versions of Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory.

Aspies are like Rain Man
Aspergers is a fake disease invented to get benifits
Aspergers is a fake disease invented by people who want to make excuses
Aspies call themselves that to be trendy
Most Aspies are Aspie Supremacists or elitists who do not want to be associated with people who have "real autism"
Aspies are not autistic
Aspies are the next stage in human evolution
Aspies are not human
Aspies if they just try harder can be normal
All aspies have high intellegence
All aspies are ret*d
You are not aspie if you are an adult
You are not aspie if you are female
You are not aspie if you have a job
You are not aspie if you are in a relationship
Aspie relationships are Cassandra syndrome
You are not aspie if you have not been proffessionally diagnosed
Aspies have no empathy
Aspies are all potential mass shooters

What struck me in writing this is how so many of the stereotypes contradict one another

All Aspies take pride in being egomaniacs because such Aspies believe that having AS makes them better than everyone else in the world.

By far the most damaging stereotype - so actively promoted by political movements (disguised as benevolent charities, most notably Autism Speaks) - is that autism is all that anyone on the spectrum is, not really a human being with distinct personal characteristics, soul et al, merely the living embodiment of a disorder - the "living disorder" stereotype.

Personally I believe that the promotion of this stereotype has done and is doing the most to poison the self-concept, aspirations and lives of young people on the spectrum and is having the effect of increasing suicide rates and the rate of abuse directed at (particularly) younger members of the spectrum. That is why I believe that the mission of AS is evil, knowingly or not.

Although it is hard to be an unqualified admirer of all that happens on WP, its supreme achievement and that of its founder may be to have saved some of those lives, how many we can never know, though I am convinced that this is a reality.

All Aspies lack empathy

All Aspies stim (While stimming is seen as a trait of ASD's, when you think about it, many NT's also stim, in the form of playing with pens or pencils, etc.)

All Aspies are mentally delayed

Only children can be Aspies or have autism

All Aspies are part of a government conspiracy that created AS.

Aspies are social justice warriors

Aspies (the neurodiversity/autistic rights camp) are part of a corporatist Big Pharma and Big Government conspiracy to inject all neurotypicals with thimerosal and MMR vaccines to become autistic by depopulation methods.

Aspies are fedora wearing neckbearded atheists

I can deal with most of the other stereotypes, but this one just makes me lose faith in humanity.
