Click to read our Language Disclaimer
Some of our older blog posts use words or terms we don’t use at AutismBC anymore, either because they’re considered outdated or ableist to some people in the autism community. We’ve worked to edit many of our posts, but sometimes, we leave the language authors chose to respect their identities and voices.
We do our best to follow the guidance of autistic self-advocates and the social model of disability in our communication. We are still learning and will continue to grow and change alongside the community.
If you spot insensitive language or an error on our website, please let us know on our contact page.
