Any "SPECIALIST" that spends even a second thinking about if it's better to call you "a person with autism" or "an autistic person" knows shit about autism.

@LukeAlmighty "person with autism" sounds a bit negative and somewhat like "oh you poor dear" where "autistic person" is just "this is Luke, he's an autist."

I kinda like that the internet is starting to make "autist" popular again because that's just shorter and easier. [Also it's been that way in french and perhaps other languages for years now.]
