We typically say person with autism rather than autistic person. This is because they are people first and autistic second. Best Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 06:00, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

Person-first language
Hi Muffinator. Thanks for the barnstar, which I've move to my talk page and replied there, saying that of course you may quote me outside WP. Your contributions on Talk:Autism were very helpful to my understanding of this whole area. Regards, --Stfg (talk) 19:27, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
Autistic person v person with autism
I saw your comments on the disability talk page and read them to my autistic son. He agrees with you, and (without reading your comment about the term used as a noun) brought up the fact that he considers it's use like that offensive and compared it to looking at someone on the street and referring to the as black to define them.

We are not to rewrite Misplaced Pages from the perspective of a subgroup of autistic people. We do not use terminology like "neurotypical" and ASD does not equal autism. You edits need more discussion. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 03:03, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
- I am not trying to make Misplaced Pages pro-autism. I'm just removing things that are overtly anti-autism to move Misplaced Pages towards neutrality. If I see anything overtly pro-autism I will correct that too. Muffinator (talk) 07:14, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
- The concern is not that it is pro autism. It is that the change in wording is not supported by the sources and the wording you are using belongs to a specific community rather than being common English.

Please stop switching better terms to "neurotypical" and "allistic". This is disruptive. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 03:17, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

A short rant to myself to preserve my mental health
My edits are getting reverted in the middle of a huge project. Now I have to go back and fix those pages again, carefully avoiding the arbitrarily disallowed parts, before I can even continue on to more pages. Fuck My Life. I want power. Don't know how to get it.
