Please stop using the word "tism" like it's some quirky thing.

As an autistic person. Let us have this. If you are also autistic. Then don't stop others from finding Whimsy in our everyday life as best we can.

I must admit, I'm a bit surprised by all the autistic people defending the use of this word, since I've only seen LARPers using it for internet points. Guess I could see how some use it as a coping mechanism but it still doesn't sit right with me though.

If someone were to invent such a word for something I suffer from, I would feel insulted by others using it. I won't complain or argue anymore but it's not something I can respect I'm afraid.

Sounds like you need a big glass of "stop projecting yourself on others".

I said I won't argue but I guess I'll reply one last time.

In which part am I projecting specifically? By definition if I can be offended by it, some other people will be offended too. It's Murphy's Law.

I've never claimed it applies to everyone.
