Hi All,
I'm trying to set up an internal 'best practice' document around inclusive language at work. Does anyone have any tips/preferences on language? I know it's a hot topic currently in the community eg. Autistic person / person with autism etc.
Any insights would be appreciated!
I found this, hope it helps.
Very useful! This graphic is by a brilliant autistic led Australian organisation called Reframing Autism.
I use 'dedicated interests' or 'passions' too when describing our areas of focus.
'Specialised' is much better than 'special interests' as the word special feels infantilising to me.
