Why don't you like the term Aspie or Aspergers? Rose Guedes only uses those terms and gets flack for it a lot but she and I can't help it, i love that term as it helps compartmentalize for me.
I don't like the term Aspie for myself because I don't have Aspergers or even HFA (although they aren't even the same thing). I'm moderate level autistic, and my diagnostic doctor said I'm nothing like Aspergers. It's just my personal peeve, because a lot of people say "Aspie" to generalise those who are actually autistic and not Aspergers at all. I might be mistaken but I also thought that "Aspergers" is no longer a diagnosis. I might be wrong about that though.
What have you eaten today?
