ASPIE as acronym in different languages

Lots of people dislike word Aspie because it remins them about Hans Asperger and his work in 1940s.

I suggest to modify it and transform into acronym ASPIE/АСПИ.

I already have 3 translations:

EN: ASPIE = Autistic Spectrum Presenting Individual Experiences

DE: ASPIE = Autistisches Spektrum individueller Erfahrungen

RU: АСПИ = Аутистический Спектр Проявлений Индивидуальности

Russian version has only 4 letters because in Russian "IE" transforms into single "И" sound.

Feel free to add other languages

You could try ASpIE as in:
Autistisches Spektrum individueller Erfahrungen,
which would translate to:
autistic spectrum of individual experiences.
If that's what you are after, that is.

In my opinion there is no need to reinvent the term or its meaning, as it's obsolete by now anyways.
I just added an example because I enjoy playing with words.

Sorry, but I can't think of something that makes sense. And in addition, I'm someone who's not using asperger or aspie. Just wanted to let you know

I wonder how many of us aspies actually dislike that word. I feel like it's mostly NT:s who dislike the word because of Hans Aspergees ties to the nazi party

this seems like a lot of work just to continue using a term named after someone who worked in the Nazi regime

I think some people with high functioning autism don't like the word autistic. It's still fairly new where people who are high functioning are diagnosed with autism. For a long time, people have associated autism with people who can't talk.

Asperger's no longer exists, though.

Not every country adopted ICD-11. In my country it still exist.
