You had me until the short bus joke. Are you aware that's ~~vaguely~~ super ableist?

As someone with pretty profound learning disabilities, I'd like to point out that... It's actually very ableist. Maybe putting us in bus ghettos so you can sanitise your school system and isolate your darling children from the freaks is slightly worse though.

Assuming short busses are the same as minibusses, it's kinda funny because my old school district uses them for transporting the 'intellectually gifted' students to a special advanced class. so 'taking the minibus' is something of a compliment where I'm from.

Intellectually jifted. Yeah my significant other was one of the short bus to the magnet school kids. But I'm European, and we don't segregate based on neurotype (at least not to the same extent).

Question: person with autism, autistic person, or autist? Justify your answer.

I have AuDHD and don't really care. I know some do, but I'm no longer so scrupulous.

[-] Colour_me_triggered@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

I prefer autist. People shouldn't need to be reminded that I'm human.
