There's quite a bit of politicking in the autism movement over whether one should preferentially say 'people with autism' or 'autistic people'. The former (formally called "person-first language") is occasionally objected to because it frames 'autism' as a disease (compare 'people with cancer') as opposed to a sort of plausibly-benign divergence in cognition. As one might expect with such matters, there are reasonable arguments for either choice. |
