| Yes, 'Aspergery' Is a Slur and It's Time to Stop Using It |
| 2014-11-02 |
| [THEDAILYBEAST] In a spate of comments about Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, the White House unleashed a horrible epithet that reflected America's pervasive ignorance about Asperger's syndrome. Probably nobody picked up on it because nobody knew what the hell they meant. I read the articles and the first time I saw it I had to pause to figure what they were suggesting. Subsequent occurrences merely brought a brief "that's stupid" as I moved on to the next paragraph. |
