So, it's okay for you to use the word "nigga" because you're a nigga? Or did I misunderstand you explaining your three hobbies?

What you just did is diminish the value of the word by using it in a context that was designed to be diminishing. By using it to describe someone who's not autistic, you're making it just another swear word - because clearly, there's very little positive attitude attached to it outside of medical context.

It doesn't belong in that puddle - and that's my problem with it.
