“Not autistic.”
“Person with autism.”
“A person not disease.”
“Don’t label yourself, you're not a soup can”.
“You’re more than that.”
“A person not a disease.”
Excuse me?
I mean no offense, but who the hell are you?

A person not a disease.

“Person first language”
“They teach it in schools.”
“Person with autism, like person with cancer.”

I must of misheard.
Or did you really compare autism with cancer?
Not a processing error, a computer with a completely different processing system.

A neurological difference,
a difference in processing,
a difference not a diseas
