Spicy Autism

Not on the linear spectrum of mild to severe or to low or high functioning, many autistic people characterize their "type" of Autism as spicy to counteract the ableism implied by functioning labels.

"Lauren has mild autism"
"No, you're supposed to say Lauren is mildly autistic"

"No, I have spicy autism. I'm autistic and I am spicy. Its a planular spectrum of spice. Spicy autism for the win." -Lauren

Kid Autism

Nickname/description of a young professional that has no idea how awkward they are in the workplace or other social settings. Frequently exhibited in technical fields such as engineering. Behaviors include: carrying on uncomfortable conversations, long-winded emails that talk in circles, stalking co-workers without making contact, staring at people, and peaking around corners.

Every office likely has one 'Kid Autism', though not often to a degree that it noticeably affects their ability to interact with co-workers.

The condition does not required actually being diagnosed as clinically autistic; any combination of unusual behavior or lack of understanding social protocols will serve as an adequate basis for attribution of the nickname. Intended to be only mildly insulting, but more generally a term of endearment.

Ollie: The other day 'Kid Autism' sneaked up on me and stood in the door of my cubical for 5 minutes staring at me until I happened to turn around. He said he didn't want to "bother me".

Jerrod: He is one creepy little f***er.
