Not posted for a while. But just asking this as I sometimes come accross this at work. I prefer to say thay my DS has autism rather than DS is autistic.
Taking over some work from a colleague and all over the paperwork is says 3 autistic children and it kind of gets my back up a bit. I want to start as I mean to go on and say 3 children with autistic spectrum disorder.
Without sounding too AIBU, am I being unreasonable??
Am I overthinking this? Is it just me it upsets?
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on special needs.
SN children
What do you think - 'autistic child' or a child 'with autism'?
