quit calling yourselves aspies

Post Reply New Topic

Ich bin ein Asperger.

At least that's what I said, speaking from the balcony of Rathaus Schöneberg in Berlin.
In 1963, I think, but honestly I wasn't even born then but that's minor detail.

No seriously, what's wrong with just 'Asperger'. I am an Asperger or I have Aspergers.
Aspergian is okay too, I quess, but Aspie....

I won't use it but I don't mind that much as long as I understand what someone's means.

Daar gaat het toch om. haha.

It's pronounced âs'pē, not âs''pī'.

Yeah I dont like Aspie, it sounds too cute and nice for for something that has really f****d up my life. As to using Aspie in place of 'tard' well here in Australia 'gay' is the latest word for something like that, so every minority group will cop it sometimes, maybe ours is next. Anyway if they start using Aspie it will give us a chance to correct them, after all people who talk like that are generally not to smart and are easily put down (just dont go too far cos they will punch you)
