just saw this and wanted to share #time #Takiwatanga #Māori #Autism
@Irisherself Coined by one non-autistic person a few years ago and understandably unwanted by many in the Maori autistic community, who already have their own term. A story as old as time.
@drewtowler @Irisherself Then, what is THAT term, please?

@Recalcitrant @drewtowler @Irisherself I can't access Facebook and am unsure what this post is referencing.
takiwātanga - Wiktionary, the free dictionary

@jenzi @VenusianMars @drewtowler @Irisherself you asked for the term some Māori people prefer for autism. I provided it. I gave a wiktionary link with source and a Facebook group corroborating. I didn’t need to log into Facebook to see the group (I do not have an account).
@Recalcitrant @drewtowler @Irisherself I didn't understand the FB page I were seeing nor recognising the term listed there. Did not see the wiki link, sorry. Thank You for the information.
