I'm honestly shocked that it still needs to be said in 2023, not to mention while I do love the #fediverse this is one of the few things which is worse here (but tbh that ain't surprising)

So here we go:

If you are #ActuallyAutistic but still use #Aspie #Aspergers or any variation of that word really to define yourself or worse put it into your bio, you are part of the problem (and if you need me to spell it for you the problem is #Sanism it's #Eugenism it's triage, it's the 3rd fucking Reich, it's exclusionary, supremacist and eliminatory rethoric)

Sadly: #NothingNewUnderTheSun

The use of the asperger terminology is not up for debate here, if you cannot reflect on that I'm very sorry for you but I ain't got the spoons for your #Supremacist bullshit. Also because these things are tangently related: this is a #SelfDx #SelfDxsafe place, one that is radically inclusive, anything less than that is #LipService

#NeuroDiversityNotNeuroHierarchy #LeaveNoOneBehind

( While I do not address the subject in this post #LeaveNoOneBehind includes ALL forms of neurodivergence, if the #AspieWord is a offensive, #Crazy is even worse than that: it's also a non-word)
