I've always had a lesion in my brain and I've had epilepsy for as long as I can remember, so I was pretty neuro atypical long before I got this autism diagnosis as an adult just one or two years ago. I don't think you can say that someone you never met and know nothing about is "neurotypical" It's just a complete assumption and it's rude.
on the flip side, I hate the term "aspergers syndrome" I think it sounds horrible, personally I love the word "autism" and "autistic", those sound less harsh. but that might just be me lol
I love the word "aspie" though, weirdly lol
Same. I always say I’m autistic but I do like the word aspie and use that as well sometimes but if you asked me what I was, and even if you didn't, I’ll tell you anyway, and I always say I’m autistic.
