We Speak Aspie

Post Reply New Topic

Wouldn't it be cool if, we looking for a doctor, for instance, in the Yellow Pages, that there was the phrase "We speak aspie" in some of the ads. It would sure influence me about who I would do business with.

I had to sign some papers at the bank and asked the banker what would she think of a banker who spoke aspie for customers who needed an aspie translator. She thought it would make life at the bank a lot more fun and actually saw a need.

I speak "autie"
I speak 'down syndrome'

Though aspie, I don't know if I speak it. Though I think I can type it ok.
It is a wonderful idea Becky!!

Aspie is too ambiguous! Sometimes I say things and then think about what I said and realize that it doesn't make any sense without the context that I was thinking about.

how do you speak 'aspie?'.. ain't we the ones that don't speak? or too much?

We have our own langauge now?

We seem to pick out details that NT's don't highlight and, sometimes, get onto aspects that confuse and confound people. In my case, I get distracted really easily.

Sometimes we say what we mean but in the NT world, they'll hear something else, like when I told a doctor, I really love Xanax. He heard it as if I'm an out of control addict. I hardly take it but it's a big help for me when I need it, so I really love it. It took awhile for me to realize that he was reading in between the lines and he was wrong and he'd never thought to clarify what he was assuming.

Sometime I think aspies need to be prodded into getting back onto the main subject but they need to be told in a way that doesn't make them feel that they're not disliked.

I think it's cool, that we have our own language.

Every group has thier own way it expresses itself. It might confuse others.

I am still trying to learn the lingo .

As much of a good idea as it seems, it would only bring negative stereotypes upon us aspies.

Know what I mean? I don't want to describe it.

Is speaking "aspie" like sounding as if you've just gained your fifth doctorate, but in actual reality you're a high school dropout?

That's me.
