some guy said "quit being so asspie"
May as well tell you to quit breathing - looks like you picked the wrong company.
Give him a chance to mend his dismissive antisocial ways, and if he doesn't sort himself out, shun him.
Yes the name Aspie could get turned derogatory on a bigger scale at some stage. But they'll do that with any name, if they're going to do it at all.
Actually I'm in favour of the term "Autist" though some say we should always say "person with autism." I can't see the derogatory element, to me it's so close to "artist" which is an admirable label to have.
Just my 2 cents
