Terminology Guide: Why Words Matter (Autistic Young Experts Panel)

The Autistic Young Experts (AYE) have co-produced a powerful Terminology Guide called ‘Why Words Matter’, which aims to reshape the language used about autism by embracing a strengths-based approach towards neurodivergent differences. Through the voices and lived experiences of the young experts, it advocates for positive, inclusive language that fosters understanding and respect and promotes and embeds equality and diversity.
