You sound pretty unpleasant yourself. I wouldn't want to be classed with you either. Whereas some of the autistic people I know are total sweethearts.

[(Anonymous)]

I hope you know you're being a jerk here. Because of course you get to label us all the same thing. :/

[(Anonymous)]

Aspergers is on the autism spectrum so it makes sense for the two to be mentioned together. No they're not exactly the same thing, but they are similar. the news DSM calls Asperger's 'mild autism'.

Also, I have it as well.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, frankly that sucks. I have a diagnosis and now they suddenly decide to change it?? That's not a "thing" anymore; they just rename it??

Does the medical profession pull this kind of thing a lot? I find this irritating beyond the measure it probably deserves, but fuck it. Why? That's so stupid.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah it is annoying that they do it. I once had an asshole tell me "it was changed now you can't say you have assburgers you have mild autism, you specieal snowflake" or something. Needless to say it pissed me off to be told what I'm supposed to call myself.

Also I'm sorry for being harsh here. I guess I've just gotten tired of the whole attitude of "ew autism" and "ew autists" and just....I know people, one of them being a good childhood friend who could be considered autistic and they're very nice, so it just pissed me off to see "autistic people are unpleasant" .

[(Anonymous)]

Ohhh to be classed with autistic people IS unpleasant"

okay that's different. Why didn't I notice that? I'm sorry.

[(Anonymous)]

No, unpleasant to be classed in with other diagnoses, not that autistic people are unpleasant. But it's hard sometimes, yknow.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, they do. Because hey, as time passes we LEARN new things about stuff. Crazy I know.

[(Anonymous)]

Does the medical profession pull this kind of thing a lot?

Yes, actually. When professionals learn more about a specific topic, they change the way they talk about it, and sometimes that involves changing what you call it. Trust me, you don't want the medical profession to never change how they think of things. Or do you long for the days when radium and enemas could cure anything?

[(Anonymous)]

Should they not have changed their stance on sterilization? What about "imbalance of the humours?" Should that still be a diagnosis? How about hysteria? Should we still declare women ill for having high sex drives and attempt to treat them through measures up to an including hysterectomy? Should we still treat breast cancer the way we used to, by not only removing the breasts but also ribs, portions of the sternum, portions of one or both shoulders, etc, disfiguring women and making it so many of them have to live as invalids, even though it didn't actually stop the cancer from returning?

I'm sure it must be very frustrating to you, but the medical profession "pulls this kind of thing" because they LEARN and try to IMPROVE. But, hey, if you don't like that, next time you get sick, try blood-letting. After all, that used to be considered a perfectly acceptable treatment, and it sure is stupid that they changed it.

[(Anonymous)]

It's kind of silly that you're bringing up blood-letting and gratuitous hysterectomies in a discussion about simply renaming/reclassifying a disorder. =S

[(Anonymous)]

Treatments for disorders that have since been either reclassified or done away with are relevant to a discussion of the renaming/reclassification of a disorder, because renaming/reclassification changes or leads to different treatment.

[(Anonymous)]

At least you didn't get totally de-disordered.

[(Anonymous)]

I am actually a pretty nice person but I don't see why I should have to be called autistic by assholes on the internet.

AYRT

[(Anonymous)]

Calling people autistic as a common insult is not cool at all

here's the thing, I would have been cool with, Saying "I don't want to be classed as autistic because there's a huge difference in severity" or something like that.

But "I don't want to be classed with autistic people because I find them unpleasant" is different.

Re: AYRT

[(Anonymous)]

and again I just noticed I skipped or misread a word.

Re: AYRT

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah and thanks for ruining my evening. IDK why I bother trying to comment anymore. Fuck this.

Re: AYRT

[(Anonymous)]

So, here's the thing. You're being really abrasive and rude, and people aren't taking it well. You say you're a nice person, but most of your comments belie that.

Some self-reflection might honestly be in order. Because if everyone thinks you're being a jerk, then usually it means you're being a jerk.

Re: AYRT

[(Anonymous)]

It's funny because AYRT comes across as one of those people who self-diagnosed themselves with Aspergers and uses it to defend themselves and avoid improving. Self-diagnosers, please don't be stereotypes.

[(Anonymous)]

Your problem is that you think autistic is an insult. This would be a problem even if you were neurotypical, but the fact that you're actually on the spectrum and you're still so insulted that someone might take you for one of those autistic people just adds extra layers of sad and obnoxious. It's the psychological equivalent of a mixed race person getting all up in arms that someone called them a PoC, because it's so unpleasant to be mistaken for a black person when only half of your ancestry is black.

[(Anonymous)]

They didn't actually say that autistic is an insult. All they said was that they didn't like being misclassified.

they might also separately think that being autistic is an insult, but that's not what they actually said.

[(Anonymous)]

They're not being misclassified, though. They never actually were. Asperger's has been considered part of the autism spectrum for quite some time. They're getting upset because they don't see themselves as autistic, and they don't like being considered autistic, even though that's what they are and have always been.
