I don't care what language people use, I just know that I'm my own person as are 'you'. I think it is our differences that are more compelling, not our similarities.
If course I identify or I wouldn't be here, but I identify because of the differnce.
I don't tend to wear ASD on my sleeve nowadays. Labels aren't everything, especially as some sort of public declaration. I understand that identity can be important, and it is up tot the individual, however for me it isn't the be an end all after many years, even if it was helpful at one point.
I keep reminding that a condition or set of traits isn't the whole person.
