- I did not consider that the username I chose might offend others on the spectrum. In many of online the communities I'm in, the abbreviation of the word among others with autism is a term of affection or endearment. I, myself have autism and purely found it amusing to have the term be in relation to cats, animals which I am quite fond of. I hope this explanation is sufficient, but I'm willing to cooperate if there are any further problems with it. Cat-with-the-'tism (talk) 18:15, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
