I fear pretty much everybody. Not sure what the proper phobia for that would be.

Most people don't know what an aspie is.

SO they don't have aspiephobia. They just don't like people who are different.

Agreed, but we're discriminated by our "symptoms", not by the label. And even if we try to explain it to them, they often have this "my-shit-don't-stink" attitude where they don't want to make a fraction of an effort to learn.

Aspiephobia definitely exists. People either want to use my gifts for their novel amusement or they are terrified of them. It is fascinating to see how quickly people are threatened by aspie intelligence.

You can see it in their eyes when some people first meet you. You can expect the sabatoge to come soon afterwards. You might make every attempt to be friendly and endearing but it will never be good enough to keep the pitchforks from coming out as soon as the opportunity arises.

And this opinion comes from a positive and lighthearted aspie.
