I have been. It’s interesting to read the feedback as many of the kids I work with are preschool age and unable to share what they would prefer to be called and the parents are often so overwhelmed with just receiving the diagnosis that they haven’t formed an opinion about this particular topic yet.

Definitely want to find a way to bring this into my place of work and share, but will need something a little more formal than “internet NDs said…” Certainly presents a personal and professional topic of research for the future.

Don’t have autism but am in the field specifically with younger kids. We have switched from saying autistic kids like “I work with autistic kids” to " I work with kids with autism." Curious if one feels better to you as someone who has autism.
