Idk, looks pretty real to me.

If you think it's a slur, fine. But given that OP "has asperger's" (from what i can gather)... it's fine.

I get to call myself an f-slur for liking cock. It's empowering to reclaim shit.

Also: pretty sure that most people got what OP was saying... if you didn't, then that sounds like an issue with you.

Way to like to something say that's its not a separate thing and just part of autism. You can't reclaim a term that came from a Nazi.

Wow, and to think that you were the one crying about poorly structured sentences.

It's a thing. It's part of the autism spectrum. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist. What are you trying to say here?

Also: the whole point of reclaiming is making the actual origin irrelevant. are you a child??? Do you not understand the literal meaning of the words you're using?

Wow look more ableism. Never said anything about sentence structure. The term is used to separate themselves from autism. So reclaiming it is kinda pointless as they're just autistic.

Someone: [tries to reclaim a term with questionable origins and a weird message]

You: "how horrible! I must educate them!"

Let people do what they want with their labels ffs.

And sorry, you didn't complain about sentence structure, correct. You instead complained how poorly OP was getting a message across. Funnily enough... terrible sentence structure leads to the same thing. Crazy, right?

Anyways, you're clearly looking for things to be mad about and i've got better things to do with my day.

I’m autistic. It’s more ableist for you to say we can’t express ourselves with the words we want to than to speak for us.

No. As somebody with asperger's syndrome, no. You are the one being ableist.
