Dear Wiktionary HQ,

 

Dear Wiktionary HQ,

 

I am a loyal frequent user of Wiktionary whenever I am online/off my laptop and I come across a word I don't understand. There is one word I DO UNDERSTAND however, and that is 'pedantic'. Definition as I was explained to; Showing off in an idiotic and insufferably ignorant manner one's educational accomplishments in life in order to both impress and bore others to death with aforementioned topics.

Here's another word I understand EXTREMELY WELL and that is 'Asperger Syndrome'. This is something I was born with so you could say I'm an Aspie. And I tell you this; I know a damn lot more about the specifics/characteristics of life on the Autistic Spectrum than your petty minds could ever hope to achieve, being a qualified Autsim Trainer!!!! I was deeply offended to discover that your definition of Aspergers Syndrome is somewhat plaintive and whining. And also unbelievably offensive to anyone who understands the true meaning of Pendantic. WE ARE NOT PEDANTIC! WE ARE ACCOMPLISHED INDIVIDUALS IN OUR OWN RIGHT WHO DON'T DESERVE THIS DEROGATORY TERM. IT IS AN INSULT TO ANYONE WHO HAS AN AUTISTIC CONDITION WHO IS ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THIS, AND WILL ONLY SERVE TO MAKE THEM FEEL PERHAPS MORE UNCOMFORTABLE/AWKWARD IN SOCIAL SITUATIONS WHEN THEY ARE ALREADY STRUGGLING FOR SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT WITH SO-CALLED 'NORMAL'PEOPLE IN SOCIAL GATHERINGS/MEETINGS.

To say that we are stereotyped in activities proves you don't know bugger-all about us at all! You probably watched 'Rain Man' and fabricated your own ideas of what it's like to live on the Autistic Spectrum.

Susan Boyle has said she has Aspergers in Dec 2013, but don't make a hullabaloo about it. Oh no, you'll only damage her reputation as an 'ordinary woman who just happens to have sensational vocal talent'. Do you have anything to criticise her on, being on the Autistic Spectrum? No, I should think not. You can only see the negative side of being Autistic, such as being an Idiot Savant (although this is actually stated as being offensive on your Autism Page!) I myself have interests that go FAR beyond the norm, i.e., crystals have healing powers. Who else would openly admit something like this with confidence in what they believe in? People that you NORMAL people term as crazy, mentally-unstable, bonkers, doolally etc. I know of quite a few people you would not want to to go labelling as PEANTIC and STEREOTYPED IN ACTIVITIES with Autistic Spectrum Disorders. But I shan't name any. Oh no, YOU, WILL HAVE TO GO OUT THERE AND MEET THESE DELIGHTFULLY ECCENTRIC PEOPLE AND REALISE EVERYTHING YOU THOUGHT YOU KNEW ABOUT US? WAS WRONG. Because unless they actually admit it, how can you tell, again by stereotyped activities that they are an Aspie/Autistic? Because they enjoy reading, tv, internetting, sports, politics, cooking, consistent topics in present discussions? That's everybody. You seem only be able to label Autistic Individuals as people with nothing but f****** faults"! Nothing positive being mentioned as far as I can see on any Wiktionary pages, only Wikipedia. You ought to be ashamed of yourselves! You need to update your views/definitions of being someone with Asperger Syndrome. Because otherwise, NORMAL PEOPLE who read this particular page, will only ever able be able to see us Neurodiverse Autistic Individuals as nothing but negative, showy, attention-seeking Histrionics or Narcissitics! GET YOURSELF SOME HARDCORE FACTS ABOUT THE CONDITION, INSTEAD OF SOCIAL MYTHS FOUNDED ENTIRELY ON SCIENTIFIC GOSSIP!!!!!!!!!!!
