What has the label of aspergers/aspie etc. done for you and people you know? The more I think about it, the main use is now I know what word to google. Other people I say the label to know what to google. Google the word, the label. However I don't feel it really increases understanding substantially about our condition. It's like qualia on steroids lol. The gap of understanding between any people can be wide but it's feels tremendously wide between us and NTs. I've have an English degree and I think I've got a decent command of language (except for this stream of consciousness I'm writing now on here XD ) but it's disheartening that my words fail constantly to describe what it's like being me to another person. So ultimately I feel the label increases my detached feeling.
