Aspie: A person with Asperger’s Syndrome. An Aspie (like myself) perceive the world differently and struggle with social communication. Asperger’s isn’t an illness and cannot be cured

A.S.D: Means Autism Spectrum Disorder. Although it is more of a condition than it is a disorder. Autism is a spectrum and as such has common traits but different levels and intensities.

Stimming: Self-stimulating behaviour; it is the repetition of physical movements, sounds, words, or moving objects; those with ASD stim when anxiety or excited.

Etiquette - I prefer using a ‘Person First’ approach to describing disability or conditions. It is so that the person isn’t defined by their condition. Therefore, I am a person with #Autism/#Asperger’s rather than an Autistic person.
