Serious question:

Is saying someone or saying that you yourself are “on the spectrum” (as in , or autistic/Asperger diagnostic spectrum) a slur, or just not a good choice of words?

I know there are a couple of other terms that I’ve seen people use as slurs I’d definitely avoid.

We finished watching series & I have on it. I did enjoy the storylines. I wasn't impressed by over the top representations of . It's the 2nd that bothered me on this issue. While I appreciate that are trying to be by adding on - fell very short on how autistic folks behave daily. It's disturbing.

These film folks seripusly need real autistics as advisors.

@gabsmashh This is one of those moments where I wonder if the meme maker is , or if there’s some truth to the claim that everyone is a little autistic.

“We’re all on the human spectrum“

So I finished my second book of 2023, 'The Maid' by Nita Prose. Ever finish a book and aren't exactly sure how you feel about it? 🤔

The concept of the multidimensional really resonates with me. It recognizes that autism can manifest in a wide range of ways and can intersect with other identities. Let's move away from the unidimensional and embrace the diversity of the autism community

The term doesn't do justice to the complexity and individuality of each person's experience with autism. It suggests that there is a linear progression and individuals can be easily placed into a hierarchy based on their abilities. Let's instead recognize the multidimensionality and individuality of each person's experience with autism and call it the multidimensional .

@viktorbir Yes! The term doesn't do justice to the complexity and individuality of each person's experience with autism. Let's call it the multidimentional instead.

Being on the autism spectrum means that no two autistic people are exactly alike. We're all unique and have our own strengths and challenges. So if you see one autistic person doing something a certain way, don't assume that's how all autistic people do it. We're a diverse and amazing group!

(The other two were , which I'd score myself 2/5 on - clumsy but functional - and , which I'm unsure about. I had the strong urge to pull a hood over my face, sit down and rock at one point, but I wasn't wearing a hood and my masking for that runs deep, so it felt natural to resist the urge. Not really sure what else counts - my recharge activity was reading Pratchett and comfort eating in bed, but that feels pretty normal, so idk)
