-'''A-Spec''' or '''A-Spectrum''' is an umbrella term for all identities on the [[Asexual Spectrum|asexual spectrum]] and [[Aromantic Spectrum|aromantic spectrum]]. It can be used for anyone on the asexual spectrum, aromantic spectrum, or both. It is also sometimes used more broadly to include other identities that use the "a-" prefix, such as [[agender]] and [[aplatonic]].<ref>https://asafetynet.tumblr.com/post/112827135411/a-spectrum-safety-net</ref> [[File:Aspecflag.png|thumb|220x220px|An alternate a-spectrum flag]]
-The term a-spectrum was introduced by Tumblr users warriorsdebt, whes, and strategicgoat in 2015.<ref>https://warriorsdebt.tumblr.com/post/157795101420/wetwareproblem-aphobephobe-wetwareproblem</ref>
-== Controversy ==
-Aces and aros have sometimes been accused of appropriating the term "a-spec" from the autistic community. This is impossible, as the term was created in 2015 specifically for aces and aros and has no prior usage history before that point.<ref>https://historicallyace.tumblr.com/post/161502315942/do-you-per-chance-know-when-asexuals-first</ref><ref>https://apersnicketylemon.tumblr.com/post/189192893072/aspec-does-not-and-has-never-meant-autism</ref>

-With the ace and aro communities, use of the term "a-spec" has also been criticized for introducing confusion through frequent misuse, particularly regarding asexuals using "a-spec" when only ace-spec people are relevant, or though saying "a-spec and aro-spec", implying that aro-spec is not inherently inherently included under a-spec. Unfortunately, for some people, "a-spec" and "ace-spec" are phonetically indistinguishable when spoken aloud.<ref>https://shades-of-grayro.tumblr.com/post/190426507065/again-im-not-critiquing-the-usefulness-of-a-word</ref>
-== Flag ==
-The a-spec flag was created by Tumblr user The-Moon-Is-Aroace on March 25, 2019.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20200809185542/https://the-moon-is-aroace.tumblr.com/post/183702972387/a-new-flag-for-the-aspec-community-just-an-idea-i</ref> The compass rose in the middle is a symbol of how people all experience attraction in different ways, if at all. The green and purple are on opposite sides of the quadrant to show that [[Asexual|asexuality]] and [[Aromantic|aromanticism]] are their own separate and independent identities, with the black and grey quadrants connecting them. Black represents the [[aroace]] community and grey represents grey communities.
-The aloe vera a-spec flag was designed by Tumblr users Sapphic-Squirrel and Hetaces with help from the Inclusionist Discord Server and was posted on November 17, 2019.<ref>https://sapphic-squirrel.tumblr.com/post/189130109062/hello-everyone-i-want-to-present-a-community-flag</ref> It was designed to mimic the [[sapphic]], [[achillean]], [[diamoric]], and [[pluralian]] flags with three stripes and one plant. The green is for aromantics, the purple for asexuals, and grey is for the grey area between a- identities and [[Allosexual|allo-]] identities which would represent [[Greyasexual|greyasexuals]], [[Greyromantic|greyromantics]], [[Demisexual|demisexuals]], [[Demiromantic|demiromantics]], other [[Mesi Aromantic|mesi aros]], [[Mesi Asexual|mesi aces]], [[Split Attraction Model (SAM)|split attraction]] users, and those that don’t have solid labels but know they are somewhere under the umbrellas of asexual or aromantic.
