I guess I'm unqualified to really vouch for some of my reasoning, being an aspie, but when people say "aspies versus neurotypicals" it makes both sides sound like they're utterly different and may even be at odds with each other, like it's us against the normals or some crazed logic to that effect.
I know it's not that extreme, but I can't imagine there being an insurmountable divide between the two, so much that quote-unquote "average" people require a term to be clumped into like Play-Doh (and a rather negative-sounding term, at that).
I don't know if it's ever going to leave, though. The thing about pejoratives and the like is that they're easy to use to convey what imagery you want of a person or group-- just ask the past umpteenhundred years of history where the N-word's been used for a negative depiction of black folk. The word neurotypical by its definition provides a very easy image, that of an average-minded person. But is there even such a thing? It contradicts the whole "everyone is different in their own way" slogan that Disney Channel has paddled into our brains, and yet we go on with it anyway.
Which poses the question: are we all really different, or are we just led to believe that we are by our outward appearances? I think we are, but my opinion's just that, an opinion. So think what you will of it, I won't mind.
I've finished the recipe that will grant us all unlimited renewable energy, it just calls for human blood, and coincidentally if you can spare any low-level artificial idiot bots that you happen to have laying around, that would be nice.
After you donate the blood though, something like 4 liters should be alright.

Also, I'm not sure why but at the moment Anonus's avatar looks strangely male to me, despite the fact that Spot's a girl.
I can't help but find it fairly refreshing that she doesn't have teeth.

Batoto is down for maintenance, however, they have posted this until they resume operation.
I'm fine, I just feel that I was treated unfairly in a general sense today.
I'd rather not go into detail though.
