I often refer to myself as an "Autist" and would not be at all concerned if anyone else called me it either (assuming it was done without malice).
For some reason the word really appeals to me - it just fits!
A therapist suggested that saying "an autistic person" would be more inclusive.
Are there offensive connotations to the word "Autist"?
I don't find it offensive. Personally, I refer to myself as 'A short git.'
Not quite sure "short git" goes with your drifter profile picture!?
Why not? Do all drifters have to be tall?
Just for the record, the "Deleted User"s profile picture was of Clint Eastwood in "High Plains Drifter"
