I'd identify as Autistic. Not 'a person with Autism.' Here's Why:

We Don’t Do This With Other Adjectives I’ve never seen this odd divided preference for diabetics or Deaf individuals, for example. People say “I’m Deaf” or “I’m diabetic” without anyone clutching their pearls about their identity being “reduced” to their condition. Why? Because we understand that adjectives describe—they don’t define totality. When I say “I’m a humorous, intelligent, neurospicy individual,” nobody thinks I’m only those things.

Why Did I Decide to Do This?

I know people like me look fine, and sometimes can get envious flack for being good at things (because we are trying to do everything right as an automatic defense mechanism for our internal anxiety which presents as perfectionism and extreme self-criticism), but I know first hand that there is a lot on the inside that isn't okay. I want to make some of the not okay turn into okay for others...
