Headline pedants v. hyperbolic aspies

Uh, hey everyone in the prior thread and now this one: Why is it ok to use “aspie” as shorthand?

We’ve seen many terms for developmental or cognitive disabilities slip from clinical term to slur over the past 100 years. Imbecile, Moron, Idiot. There’s a full dictionary full of colorful definitions to describe narrow-minded-myopic-assholes-that-you-disagree-with.

Go pick one of them.

Stop contributing to the social contempt for mental or cognitive abnormalities.
