to be clear
When I’m talking about aspies… I don’t mean “people whose diagnosis is AS”. Mine happens not to be, but that’s got mroe to do with the doctors than anything else. The difference between AS and ASD isn’t meaningful. But there’s a cultural thing surrounding aspie identity and associated cognitive traits.
Same if I ever use the term. It’s a shorthand. Similar to what she means.
