You wouldn't say "blackies." At least I hope not.
As a card carrying aspies, my husband and I have NO problem with the term and use it frequently to describe ourselves and others like us. It makes us feel like it is less of a medical problem and more of a unique group of people we happen to have something in common with. As for the biking, wait until she is ready. It's hard to push people with autism into a hobby.
