trualist 

A better term for ASD ("Astute, Sharp and Deep").

Rather than looking down upon a person, here is something to look up to.

It's like Nikola Tesla's theory, "if you want to find the secrets of the universe, think of energy, frequency and vibration."

Vibration. Because they "stim" (as in, shaking their legs, rocking back and forth, and pacing around). And they speak in a strong vibrational tone of voice.

And David Ike's theory, "Truth Vibrations". ASD people are brutally honest. They only speak their truth.

So let's combine the words together. Truth-Vibrational people. Trualistic people. Trualist.
