Guest guest Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 Subject: put-downs needed (British, esp.) This chapter I'm writing (about " coming out aspie at work " ) will be published in England. Therefore, I want to be sure what I write is not too foreign for British readers. In particular, I want my list of " bad words " often applied to autistics to include some of those familiar " across the pond. " mostly words inferring insanity used to me eg wierd, mad, loony, crazy, nutter, paranoid, psycho plus things like posh, snob alluding to fact that i do not talk to everyone and also that i have a posh accent. comments like selfish, egocentric, lazy, manipulative, etc etc litter my school reports. __________________________________________________________________ McAfee VirusScan Online from the Netscape Network.
