[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is all fine - but a huge problem that the Autistic adult community has is with "Autism moms" (i.e. US) defining all of this. If you read the literature BY Autistic people you'll find that the majority of the Autism community agrees that functioning labels are problematic on a lot of levels. I choose to listen to them. [/quote] That's great but I'm an Autistic mom, not an autism mom, and I'm asking what word or phrase would people prefer, based on the post above. If the argument is that there is no difference between level 1 and level 2 and level 3 autism, that argument is illogical. If the argument is that there are differences, but also a common thread so we should do away with the different labels altogether, -- surprise! We are now talking about a specific situation where the labels are needed (meetups with parents of kids who face common issues). [/quote]
