I'm black, and I have an ASD, so that must mean that I'm OBSESSED with fried chicken! :bounce:

I wouldn't like it since the term "aspie" sounds really stupid. It's funny how people here say it constantly being oblivious to how it sounds.

Bad way to make an intro, bro.

I'd rather be called an Aspie than an AssBurger.

Hmm I learned the word aspie from these boards I thought it was a preferred term if some people find it offensive I will have to try to stop using it. I have classic autism so i'm not an "aspie" I have been called an "autie" though and I don't find it offensive, is there any reason I should?

Oh, but I do love fried chicken or roast chicken. 10 dollar sunday bucket at KFC yum.

I love fried chicken.

And I don't mind being called Aspy because it's my excuse for being a complete failure at life.

By itself, it's not so bad a word, nowhere close to the 'N' word as far as impact goes. But I can easily imagine an NT using it in a way that MAKES it sound bad simply from tone or connotation. Kind of like 'fag' for gays or 'girl' for women, it suggests a familiarity that may not have been earned yet, and comes across as condescending.
