As a parent of two #autistic children. I always find myself questioning my terminology when talking about them to others, especially to autistic people. There is no single word that everyone prefers but what’s yours? #AskingAutistics #ActuallyAutistic #autism

When they were younger I would often say “my son has autism”. Completely unaware that some people find this offensive. I now say... “my son is autistic” or my children are on the autism spectrum. I should point, he is non verbal so cannot tell me his preference.
