Go ahead, joke about Aspergers!

In an IRC a few hours ago someone joked "Hey, I can multitask. I don’t have aspergers." Several things went through my mind. My initial thought was "this guy has Aspergers!" But then I began to think maybe not and I wanted to be offended that someone would joke about Aspergers. Instead I was glad.
I find it interesting to have been ahead of game learning about Aspergers before it was widely recognized. To have watch the growth in available reading materials and resources boom from almost nothing to a great wealth of information. Please, joke about Aspergers! To joke about it means the common person understands it.
