Jury's still out...
Let me know when it's back!
I'm gonna make YOU the jury shortly
I agree with "autism" being too vague, but I think exactly the same of "Asperger's". Out of interest, what difference do you see? What is a "very classic Aspie"?I think "Autistic" is a bit vague. I have a son who is definitely "Autistic" and his behaviour and consciousness is very different from, me, my dad, my sister and my sister's children, who all have the very classic "Aspie" kind of Autism.
The dividing line has almost always beenOut of interest, what difference do you see? What is a "very classic Aspie"?

"Autist" just sounds like a profession to me. A Professional Autist.
That's probably why! I just triggered my own memory of a joke I made here months ago that "Autist" sounds like "Artist" in an English accent. I'm a hoot.
OMG I WENT THROUGH SO MANY STAGES OF SHOCK
Me the judge?
"Holy moly, it's a thing so much that there's a video?"
"HOLY MOLY, IT'S HIS VOICE!"
"HOLY QUACK, IT SAYS "JUST FOR FINO LOL"
THAT WAS AMAZING *dies*
And they don't sound the same. I guess they only sound the same in my horrible fake accent.
You're doubly honoured Mrs Autistamatic allowed her voice on video for once
Actually she thought it was hilarious and found it really hard not to laugh while she was saying it
Ok, Fino, now I'm really gonna bake your noodle.I WAS WONDERING. I thought maybe you somehow sampled a stranger. WOW! I just saved it. Now I have a funny story to tell foorrrever! THANK YOU! IT SHALL LIVE ON INTO ETERNITY, with "eternity" now defined as "a few decades, maybe more, I dunno"
Ok, Fino, now I'm really gonna bake your noodle.
Compare the american pronunciation of "autist", to the british pronunciation of "artist".
And now, to borrow the words of a wise man... (runs and hides)
Thanks, @Autistamatic .But which American accent? I imagine in a Bostonian accent they might be quite similar, maybe in a Minnesota accent too, but in a Brooklyn or New Jersey accent, probably quite different!
Thanks, @Autistamatic .
Now I'll forever hear "autist" as annunciated by Fran Drescher.
You're a baaaaaad man.
I hope all your kids are born naked.
