... people who think all autistic people are aggressive no matter what.
Aspiephobia is a disorder!
You can add the belief that "autism/apserger's is contagious", wether a concious or subconconcious belief, to that.
Hmmmm, we could make a DSM-IV entry for it, like we did with the NT disorders.

Maybe anyone who think autistic people are dangerous somehow.

Autistophobia.
To meet the criteria for diagnosis, an individual must exhibit one or more of the following symptoms:
1.  Firm belief that autistics are physically violent.
2.  Firm belief that autism is contagious, often vehemently denied.
3.  Denial of autistic traits in self/close relatives/friends.
4.  Espousal of curing/aborting all autistics.
"Autphobia" maybe, shorter.
I am thinking more about those who have severly misunderstood the concept of autism.
People, who are afraid of autistics (particularly LFAs) are mostly afraid of disabled people in general. Don't bite me (for calling autism a disability) but that's the truth - whatever Aspies think about themselves, in NTs eyes they are disabled or at least "freaky". So it dosn't make sense to separate asprophobia from other kinds of biased behaviour towards disabled people. Though... I myself interact quite well with people with any kind of disability but one (stuttering)... So probably there are peiople who can interact normally with everybody except autistics - then asperophobia exists really.
Well there's the myths especially about autism, many.
Aspies can't take over for the reason that if Aspies become a majority they will no longer be Aspies (really, imagine all NTs disappear. Then Aspies would be.... forced to socialize with each other (otherwise the civilization would simply collapse), i.e. develop social skills. And since bad social skills is the main criterion of Asperger's, it would mean that Asperger's will not exist anymore - everybody will have social skills. I just think that socializing "rituals" in a "Aspie-dominated" world would be different than in the modern NT-dominated world).
Well, it's not like an Aspie cant be phobic of other Aspies, too. Kind of like a guy who's insanely homophobic and secretly gay, because he doesn't want to face himself and deal with it.
Well, mick, you could try meeting some members in the chat room. Cool

I don't have a problem with talking to someone this way.  

And besides, wasn't artificial insemination "figured out" 30 years or so ago?


Err... What? Really, I don't understand how is this a response to the passage you quoted...
