And despite that, I'm fine with the jokes. Asperger's is a really funky subject, because it really depends on what you make of it. It's not like race where you can't hide it. That said, I've had a very weird separation with it over time, so I don't feel like I'm really able to talk about it anymore.
At the end though, most of the puns are neutral enough that I suppose the only thing really worth changing would be the descriptions to assburger and asspie. Yeah, spergh is bad, but no one noticed that it really even was an Asperger's reference until this thread, in part due to all the Swedish jokes involved with the Chef, that said, I wouldn't oppose its removal.
