Person First or Identity First Language
Some people in the Autism and Disabilties community are thinking that a change in wording would better represent their feelings and help reduce stigma. We are seeking your opinion about this. Would you prefer the wording “An Aspergian/Autistic person OR A person with Asperger’s/ Autism”. For furthur information about this issue here are some links to read: person first language and identity first language.
If you could please fill out this survey to help us with this matter it would be great! Please complete the survey prior to January 16, 2013. If you have questions or comments regarding this matter please email us at info@asperger-manitoba.ca.
Thank you,
