#identityfirstlanguage

my new piece "puzzle"

The autistic community prefers identity-first language over person-first language. Learn what this means and why it's important. #RepublishedAutomatically https://just1voice.com/neurodiversity/autism/identity-first-language-vs-person-first-language/?utm_source=tumblr&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=revive

#Repost @faeriebearart (@get_repost) ・・・ Day 15 of #30DaysofAutismAcceptance writing and this one is on identity-first vs. person-first language in Autistic communities. I've included lots of links to others' writing, too!! . [Image description: A photo of me, a white Autistic enby, and Jean, a black merle catahoula dog, laying together on a dark brown sofa. Jean is a solid 65 lb pounds and laying on top of my chest and tummy. My right arm is wrapped around her back while my left arm is gently cradling her head as I give her a kiss on her snoot. We are both enjoying the close cuddle with her eyes closed and our bodies relaxed together. This cuddle started spontaneously as I was trying to put a dog sweater on Jean, so her red sweater is visibly hung around her neck, but her front legs aren't through the arm holes yet! Perhaps because we are both neurodivergent, we both really enjoy deep body pressure/squishes.] . https://www.patreon.com/posts/18157689/ . #ActuallyAutistic #Autistic #Neurodivergence #Neurodivergent #RedInstead #Gold #IdentityFirstLanguage #PersonFirstLanguage #Language #Writing #Response
