It’s #WorldAutismAcceptanceMonth and today is #AutismAcceptanceDay – so we wanted to share some upcoming events hosted by several partners around Sheffield, as well as share some Autistic-led research around language and it’s importance to the Autistic community.
The way autistic people are spoken about should be decided by autistic people.
The autistic community are not one unified voice.
This is why we recommend that if the autistic person you are talking to expresses a specific preference for the language you use, then this should be respected.
A guide has been created which incorporates research and papers and details the language the majority of autistic people are comfortable with. CLICK HERE to learn more.
