Yeah, but It's their intentions that matter. So many people correct us. When we say "I'm autistic," they say "you mean you HAVE autism. Remember, you're a person first!"
They legit think that's supposed to lift my spirits or something, but I'm already perfectly happy with myself.
It's all Autism $peak's fault, making people think autism is this terrible thing that no one should want to have. Well, I do have it, and I want to have it! I hope my kids will be autistic too, because autism is wonderful.
Why do people insist on calling us autistics "people with autism?"

Isn’t it the same thing? Maybe you do have autism if you’re autistic
I mean sorry what’s the difference?
