How would you describe autism? - Language Research released

Avi Moderator
Hi all,
We don’t often post like this but we’d like to let you know about an important piece of research we have released today regarding (THIS IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE) autism. It is based on a survey of 3,470 people including people on the spectrum, their families, friends and professionals.
We are keen to know what you think about this so let us know in this thread.
Take care,

Avi

  • I do not mind the label at all because the label is something for me to say to appropriaate others how they can help me the best as and when I need understanding and help. I did not realise this research been on going for so long. Just in this month's journal.

    I however am suprised at the really big logos etc on Amazon and on the NAS site for te-shirts etc. Whislt I don't mind the label why should I wear a teeshirt etc big horrible letters saying am autistic or worse for siblings, their brother/sister is autistic. Personally I think that is a horrible design and suprised if anyone dresses in those clothes.

    For me, it simple the am autistic, for those who understand more about it will ask about it. For those with no interest and don't want to know they do not have to enquire any futher. Whilst working out how it affects me is a totally different issue. A simple broad definiation to describe that i have hidden difficulties is nice.

    my blood condition is so complicated in its latin form to say to people and over the years I have learned how to translate it - into laymen terms. So nice that I don't have to do that with Autism.

    Keep is simple
