Will one of you please just get to the damn point, and explain to us garbage Nazi-lovers exactly what language you'd like us to use to distinguish different levels of impairment/functioning, given that we want to discuss different levels of impairment/functioning? Or do you just not want it discussed at all? The lot of you successfully derailed this sub-thread and prevented that discussion from happening. But thank god you set us all straight on problematic etymology! Close one!

I am autistic, btw. An Autist. An Aspie. High-functioning. So's my brother. So's my father. None of us give a toss about these terms, but the subject of our traits and our getting on in society remains of interest.

I'm with you on that. That person above complaining about "Asperger's" doesn't speak for me. In the end, it's always going to be up to the individual and any sort of generalizing is going to fail unless you go about bullying people into it.

Sorry. I couldn’t decide which of these comments to respond to and did not mean to single you out or attack anybody. Obviously I find this frustrating and I feel slightly attacked myself.
