If you say that your work involves children with autism, I must ask you what kind of children do you work with, and how do you use autism to involve them?

–Nidoqueen

wait, im sorry, really - whats the correct way to say this? autistic children? is the “people first” method problematic?

A lot of autistic people don’t like person first language actually. (Although some people don’t mind it and that’s a decision for how the individual identifies) I would link to some people that I follow here on tumblr who talk about this a lot better then I do but I’m on mobile right now.

Maybe someone could help out?
