Does "Autist" offend you?

I refer to myself as being "On the spectrum". its inclusive. I dont offer this information unless its absolutely necessary so I haven used it since my diagnosis. 

For someone my age, 'spectrum' raises visions of 'Captain Scarlet' and SPVs (Spectrum Pursuit Vehicles). Yes, I did have a Corgi SPV, and, like the James Bond Aston Martin, it delighted my little autistic mind with ejector seats and other spring-loaded goodies.

Those damn missiles used to wear out so quickly, and replacements were hard to get and expensive IIRC. But not as annoyingly short lived and expensive unobtanium as those brass spring loaded shells for the Britains 155mm field gun... Parents should not buy their children many toys, they create adults like me...
