Words Can Hurt

I suggest a ninety day moratorium on the use of label "Autistic".

Why you ask? Because, many persons using the label "Autistic" tend to substitute an appreciation of the whole person with mindless oversimplification and superficiality.

I further challenge readers to seek out an "Autistic Survivor". Engage that person and appreciate the whole person.
