IMO "Aspie" still works much better when I self-categorizing to NTs.
They generally assume that both my general intelligence and my communication skills are within NT norms (the acceptable ranges for both are quite wide).
"Autism", while arguably more accurate, doesn't have that effect.
If I wanted people to treat me differently I'd switch.
