Fergus MurrayI keep encountering people defending the use of the word 'disorder' for autism, but none of them have given me a satisfactory answer to the obvious question:
By what definition is autism a disorder?
Hugs4friends ♾🇺🇦 🇵🇸😷@fergus.oolong.co.uk I have seen 'syndrome' used, too. Disorder is actually a better term than others. Less pathologising, imo. We are not ordinary. Our brains are wired differently to so-called norms.
We need to explore those differences, and dispel the myths around them. #ActuallyAutisticElder
