The following is a survey asking for the language preferences of Autistic and non-Autistic people regarding autism.
It is open to Autistic and non-Autistic people for the benefit of comparison.
I will also be using the preference results of Autistic people on the "neurodiversity: the basics" page of my website.
Please do fill this out and RT it, I would like to get at least 1000 responses.

Some of these questions made me go "Hmmmmm...". Indeed, why _do_ we use "disorder" instead of "condition". "Disorder" implies a malfunction, "condition" implies a state of being.

@cvwillegen @DivergentDumpsterPhoenix @neurodiversity @actuallyautistic @autisticadvocacy I say difference.. autism spectrum difference..
It takes decades to learn to use the differences, and apply them when and where they're appropriate.
Hyperfocus is useful when I'm cranking something out on a deadline. Not as useful when I'm at home, watching TV, and the hubs wants to tell me something, but I don't even hear him.
