Can I call myself an Aspie?

I feel like I have Asperger Syndrome, even though I only have a diagnosis of PDD-NOS and it is now just Autism Spectrum Disorder according to DSM-5 and ICD-11

I am also very intelligent similar to Albert Einstein, but I am very had at math.

I feel like I have Asperger Syndrome Unspecified, although the only difference is that I had speech delay and have some form of intellectual defects.

If you want to call yourself an Aspie, be my guest. I have no particular objections.

Call yourself whatever you want; but just remember that we are not our labels.
