So what do we call these horrible people who would think up a label like autistic or AS and then pin it all over us so they can stick us in a neat little pigeon hole?
"Labellers" seems just a tad tame to me, for the mind control they have in mind off the back of it.
You will tell me next I am sure that people with a physical issue have no problem with being "Disabled", "Invalid" or (shudder) Handicapped.
Warning: Do not accept you are ill. Why accept you are ill. Wo declares you are ill? What gives them that right?
Autism isn't a label. It is a condition. It is a diagnosis. Do not accept I am ill? Who said anything about illness? Who declares I am ill? So far, you've come the closest.
I am autistic. Those who label me as autistic are correct, just as those people who label me as Caucasian or a Georgia Tech student are correct.
You seem to have some serious insecurities regarding the possibility you might be autistic (I just looked at your profile, why all this hatred if you aren't even completely sure you aren't hating a group you're a part of? Ridiculous). "You are autistic" is a statement of fact, not a statement of weakness. You seem to be fighting to avoid being called autistic. Why?
