[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is how the cycle goes. A word is used. People use the word as intended. Word develops a negative connotation because it refers to something that is, frankly, negative. People get offended. People find new word. New word is used as intended. Word develops a negative connotation because it refers to something that is, frankly, negative. People get offended. People find new word. And so on and so on and so on.[/quote] This is so true. Isn’t this what happened with Asperger’s? It is not used much anymore but kids had turned it into an insult - Are you Aspie? Is that why it was abandoned?[/quote] Dr Asperger was posthumously canceled for being an alleged Nazi, at the same time that the concept of autism was redefined to be a "spectrum" that meana everything and absolutely nothing.[/quote]
