Person-first or Identity-first language?
Should you use “person-first” language to describe a person who is on the autism spectrum? Or use “identity-first” language and refer to them as an autistic person? The style guides I examined, suggest that both are permissible — but when you know which language is preferred by a person or by their community, that is the language you should use.
