Holy shit. There's a whole Twitter inquisition going right now against autists who use the word '#aspie' to refer to themselves. Because rigorous monitoring of our language is absolutely the most important thing we need. Extraordinary.

This does not appear to be a troll account. There are people raging about nefarious "aspie supremacists", whose offense is apparently believing that there are different degrees of impairment.pic.twitter.com/BrbPeE3mKv

Sociopaths and borderlines get misdiagnosed as autistic sometimes, I guess. My model of autism has extreme difficulty with this kind of behavior. Maybe I don't have enough imagination.

I think the key distinction is being able to read people's emotional states and not caring/enjoying their suffering vs. caring but being unable to read them.

Getting an emotional charge out of bullying/dominating others seems like something autists will have difficulty with, because they'll have difficulty noticing when it happens (and they aren't, generally, sadistic).
