How about us being referred to as "a cloud of aspies" while NTs can keep referring to themselves as "a crowd of neurotypicals?"

Hey, they do love to be part of the "in" crowd. To them, we are like a cloud...a cloud of folks who confuse them because they can't figure us out. Let us rain! Let us reign! They had their turn. When do we get ours?

Look...up in the sky! It's a bird. It's a plane. No...it's a cloud of aspies! Oh no!...here they are again; bringing us an overcast day!

I'd love to be a part of an Aspergian amalgamation.

An assortment of aspies. I think this because we are all very different from each other.. we make a colourful group. :)

Like crows?

Here's some suggestions......
http://www.rinkworks.com/words/collective.shtml


From that site, I noticed:
ascension of larks
exaltation of larks

An ascension or an exaltation of Aspies sounds glorifying! :) We ARE better after all, right? ;) ;) ;)

I also liked "a Paradox of Aspies".... or maybe "a paradigm of Aspies"? :)

A spectrum of Aspies? Just like a "Body of Pathologists" from one of the "Inspector Morse" episodes.

Erm, as Aspies are definitively nonsocial at core and therefore ye also so much anyways are individualists, it would be a bit in bad taste to have such a term.

A clowder (or cluster) of Aspies, collective terms applied to cats. All cats have AS!

collective noun time!!
Why are collective nouns a running theme for me lately? I've been running into them everywhere!
Check here for some ideas:


The Collective Noun Page

Also, I want to say "Diaspera" but I am not sure how well that works. It might be a good collective term for a dyad of aspies though...

How bout an Amalgam of Aspies?
Got to say I've seen some pretty good ideas thrown in here...
