Hi,
I recently got diagnosed at the age of 23. I am learning more about Autism and myself more and more. But I notice that I am struggling with the use of the correct terminology. I am learning but is it just me or have you experienced the same?
It made me realize how little I know, only after getting diagnosed I started learning about ASD.
If you would like to learn about the correct terminology when talking about your own autistic experiences and our wider autistic community, you can watch the video below:

I hope this helps!
The "correct" terminology is an ever changing target....you can't "learn" it, you must "keep up" with it.....or be damned!
Yes absolutely! That’s why it’s so important to be continually engaging in our autistic community and learn about the neurodiversity paradigm.
