yes but you also need to EVOLVE with the rest of humanity and not be a f-king dinosaur.

Here's the thing though, yes the nomenclature has changed to one umbrella term, but Asperger's really does define a set of characteristics better than a placement on a spectrum. Additionally it's a pretty air tight understanding where not all ASD fits in. That's why it's still used, and it's not pejorative in intent, like other unfortunate labels of our past, regardless of what anyone thinks. The whole Level 1, 2, etc., is not helpful in education, the workplace, or anywhere. Asperger's is.
It's not about being a dinosaur.
That being said, gluten, GMO is not causal in ASD.

The phrase "a little bit Aspie" is not particularly helpful and is indeed headed in the direction of other pejorative terms.

Yes, it is, whether used by the parents, the child/adult, or by teachers/others. It's a well-understood descriptor.

No. I am not a dinosaur. In my career and personal world, which involves a lot of autism, Aspergers is actually used more as a term.

My friend told teachers not to let kid have a certain candy. They let him have it and then called to say his behavior was too much for them. She told them they should have listened and not let him have the candy.

In his case, there was a food dye that made his behavior overly energetic. If he didn’t eat the food dye, he was fine.

Same happens with gluten. People came become sort of catatonic with gluten and intestinal bacterial overgrowth. The latter can release propionic acid which can make people seem drugged, foggy, or sleepy.

That is not super specific. It doesn't qualify as anything other than meaningless.
