What is an Aspie?

I like it for several reasons.
First, there is a more personal feel.
Asperger is a name.

Next, there is the idea that by definition, Asperger's meant avg IQ and up.
There have been some phenomenally intelligent Aspies, throughout history, and I feel honored by association.

Lastly, "Aspie" sounds waspishly witty.
It sounds lithe and quick-striking and precise, snakish.
I like it.
:cool:

That's interesting! I very much don't like it, and I'm not sure why. Do you know why you like it?

I am going to actually film a YouTube video explaining why I feel cool being described as an Aspie and knowledge other people who are on the autism spectrum find "Aspie" as an insult word.
 
When people are rude, I do not have to be nice.

Those questions you get adked: Why are you so intense?...etc are rather rude of those people to do to you.

They are not really interested in being educated.

"Why are you so rude?"
"Everyone has their story. What's yours?"
"What's it to ya?"
"Wouldn't you like to know?"
"Excuse me, what did you say?"
all can terminate the conversation.
