my thoughts

All right time for me to weigh in and make everything clear ! LOL (j/k)




I think  it is ok to use the word aspie or aspergian. Words often change their meaning. There is no reason in the world why aspie and aspergian must have the same meaning as asperger. They are of course related etymologically. There is nothing unusual about this if you know anything about  words and their history.

We just need to aspie/aspergian mean this to us  and thats it. I think that if we stick with that one or 2 complainers will eventually go away or just resign to use the not so new meanings while all the new people will just think it has always been like that
