My thoughts? If you'll allow me to get up on my soapbox for several tweets in a row: As an #ActuallyAutistic adult, I am *intensely* grateful for the fact that "Asperger's" has been deprecated in favor of Autism Level 1.

Maybe I just have a few more social genes than some of my compatriots, and can tell when people are laughing at me and not with me, but you tell someone you have Asperger's, and what's the most likely thing to happen? "Hey, get a load of this guy, he's got ASS burgers!"

Tell people you have Asperger's and everyone's a comedian. Tell them you have autism, and the comedy shuts off like a light. That's good, because I can laugh at my disorder and crack nuanced jokes about it, but NTs have all the subtlety of a brick through a living room window.

To NTs, "ass burgers" is the pinnacle of rip-roaring comedy. Meanwhile, now that I have Autism Level 1, I like to tell people that it's not all bad, because once I grind out enough XP to hit Autism Level 5, the 'Wapner' perk really improves my DPS (definitelies per second).
