When talking about Autism, it's important to use the language that each individual prefers. Some people prefer person-first language (e.g., "a person with Autism") while others prefer identity-first language (e.g., "an Autistic person"). Language evolves, and so does our understanding of Autism. Some terms are outdated, while others are preferred by the community. This small change makes a big impact in promoting dignity and inclusion! Let's choose words that uplift and respect every person. 💙♾️ The most important thing? Ask and respect each person's preference! 💙 #autismawarenessmonth ID: diagram of preferred language vs outdated language (fb)
