“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” Unfortunately, this is NOT true as many people with autism experience bullying from a young age. April is National Autism Awareness Month and we wanted to share ideas with you regarding inclusive language when speaking about or documenting for patients with autism. Inclusive language helps to avoid stereotypes and promotes understanding. Words shape our view of the world and we challenge you to view Autism Spectrum Disorders with an inclusive lens.
