It’s still easier to tell people that you have Asperger’s than trying to explain why their autist nephew and yourself are different but still on the spectrum.
I mean… Educating people is important and all that jazz but I’m just tired of it.
“It’s level 1 autism, what used to be called Asperger’s,” is normally enough for people to understand what I’m talking about. Of course, I’m not saying these things to every person passing by, but when a conversation goes there I try to be educational.
It’s almost as if an extremely ambiguous meaningless label is useless and contributes to nothing but confusion, isolation, and ruined lives due to unneeded “help”.

Tired of being better, congratulations!
