Aspergian is like "American". Either a noun or an adjective.

"Aspie" is like "okie"[as in "from Muskogee"]. A noun only.

I stick to aspie.
IMO aspergian sounds lame. And too long! And it sounds like an adjective.

I prefer "autistic".


Have to agree with Callista on that one. Never even heard of "Aspergian" (surprised I can spell it correctly - then again maybe I didn't). Only use "Aspie" from time to time. "Autistic" is my go-to term.

Ditto, I can't stand the terms an have only used one of the once on this forum.
