I was just convinced by that NYT article.<br /><br />I also very much agree that we should call individuals by their individual preference. <br /><br />Thanks so much for reading, dear KMarie.<br /><br />Love,<br />FSMFull Spectrum Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11460737436704927666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6227616579829607218.post-42335486888907697142018-05-09T22:21:36.863-07:002018-05-09T22:21:36.863-07:00Sigh.

Sometimes I prefer Autistic, others I still love being called an Aspie fondly by my husband or kids, I like on the spectrum but its long, I like Nuerodiverse but also too long...I guess Aspie is still my go to. Simply because its short and sounds like a nickname. Hmmmm...I just prefer for other people whatever they prefer...whether its capital Autistic or lowercase ( of which I also switch back and forth from numerous times in a post.) I am so not good at constraining myself to any form of communication I guess...even the labels I use on myself. Ha ha<br />Good post tho and as always enjoy your insights.Kmariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12947797743800775255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6227616579829607218.post-68180537872506445732018-05-09T08:02:05.808-07:002018-05-09T08:02:05.808-07:00Thanks, ever so.

It's a tough one. Thanks for raising the issue--I'd be curious to hear about what others use. As always, thanks for a thought-provoking and sensitive column.<br />mfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6227616579829607218.post-16978499021403960702018-05-08T08:09:37.835-07:002018-05-08T08:09:37.835-07:00I believe that, in all areas, our language must ad...I believe that, in all areas, our language must adjust as we become aware of history and the alternative (and often offensive) meanings that our words may convey.
