Hi people
I'm still coming to terms wirh my new diagnosis as a 47-year old dad! What I wanted to ask is how do people with ASD/Aspergers/Austism diagnosis label themselves and to others. I'm a bit confused and not sure which is the best description.
Thanks
Andrew
ASC, autism , or "on the spectrum" are the most inclusive and accurate --- it is really not important is it ?
having said that I love the term used in USA for really good groups of autistic developers which is "the Happy Aspies".
They are called this because they dont care about labels and diagnoses and talking about meltdowns, shutdowns, depression, anxiety, socialising, equity/equality because they are too busy writing the new Apps/code for the next generation of software.
There are no "happy aspies" here BTW they dont waste their time in fourns 
they could have written some more code instead 
I would love to meet/interview some of these very tight groups
