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"?
It’s one of those terms like weeb. It started off with negative connotations but the more I’m hearing it used self referentialy the more it’s growing on me.

I winder how many people had to then go look up "weeb"?
Turns out my kid is one...
