I view aspergian and aspie as formal and familiar forms of the same word, much like "usted" and "tu" in Spanish are formal and familiar forms of "you," except there's no formal rule as to when one or the other should be used. It simply depends on with which one you're comfortable.
Woot for elitism and class warfare. SotiCoto, Aspies are people, NTs are people. There's not all that much difference. Each group contains a mix of geniuses and morons, and sadly I'm beginning to get the impression that you are one of the latter.

I might drown in it some day, but I'm still on dry land for the moment.
Truth is only truth to me until a better one comes along.
It suits me fine to believe we're generally academically superior and that there are merely a few exceptions..... until it can be demonstrated clearly otherwise.
Exceptions.
If they carry the genes for that sort of potential, they're still good enough for me.
I'm aware of that. Every rule has its exceptions.
I'm accepting enough of the rare, extremely intelligent neurotypicals.... though I look down on any social needs they might have beyond that.
Sorry, but my Care-circuit shorted out.
Of course you would. Unlike me, you listened expectantly when they started programming you with acceptance rather than suspicion... didn't you?
But none of that can discredit the simple fact that humans are war-machines. Without our share of both alliances and enemies.... we are nothing.
All we're really made to do is f**k and kill, f**k and kill, f**k and kill!
I say less of the f*****g and more of the killing, and we can get this whole nonsense over with so much more quickly.... UNLESS... we could find some way to breed half that nonsense right out of the system.

I have just used these terms as that is what everyone else is calling them. but I have used the word 'Aspergian' before to describe myself. But if you look at wikipedia and other it says we all call ourselves that and I realy dont want to be excluded by another group. the term 'Aspie' sounds like a small title and is quiker to write in a forum, NT is also quiker and sounds more scientific. though i have found myself since reading you vocabulary using the word 'mundie', but it sounds a bit rude, sounds like you are calling them a gumby. 'Aspergian' makes me feel more proud.

But honestly... use whatever words you're most comfortable with. We're all individuals here afterall, aren't we?
