Heya, I too have aspergers.
To depict it as a negative thing to have aspergers is silly. Its a difference, not a disease. Its also healthy to be able to laugh at oneself.
Personally, I'd be offended if anyone feels the need to "protect" me from jokes at my expense. To censor aspergers references and/or humor actually makes the condition sound like its worth being upset that I have it/shines a (null)negative light upon it that really isn't there unless you put forth the effort into making it a negative thing.
Also, intent has to be measured when measuring whether or not something is bigoted/slanted against a group. None of the SS13 aspergers references are insulting or designed to be so.
To take the aspergers jokes in game as if they were hostile or negative would be akin to consoling a random person of color for not being white.
Doesn't feel right, does it?
