    It would help if people would stop being aholes and turning terms into offensive ones by intentionally using them insult. “autism” is being used online sometimes in place of “retard” now as an insult. Won’t be long before those of us on the spectrum need a new term because of these clowns.

    Every insult word to call someone stupid was once a clinical term (including stupid). I am not kidding look it up that’s quite a long history of doing this, people suck.
