Don't forget constantly using person-first language when talking about autistic people, using the deprecated and Nazi-collaborationist namesake "Asperger's", and the pick-me autistic people who always chime in on mainstream discussions to validate anti-autistic ableism:
"I have high-functioning Asperger's and I hate it when [autistic people do or request something].
Autism is no excuse for not doing [thing I am capable of but which others may not be capable of].
Personally, I hate other people with autism who don't fit into allistic society as well as I do and it makes me resent people with autism who don't because it makes us all look bad."
*Shudders*
can you explain what you mean by this? i'm autistic but i don't really know the controversy about it
The word autism to me isn't like "something I have" but rather just a descriptive term about me and my traits. It's like
"That person is nice" = nice person "that person is mean" = mean person "That person is into art" = artistic person
Autism is just a label, an observation made that "hey people with X and Y trait also seem to have A, B, C trait in common". I would be who I am with or without the word existing so putting it as something I "have" rather than am feels odd.
But you're free to use and prefer what you want for yourself.
