I work supporting people with developmental disabilities. One practice I use is people first language. I support people with autism, not autistic people. I spend time with people in wheelchairs, I eat lunch with people with Down Syndrome, I talk on the phone to people who are blind. I frequently explain this idea to people who have no clue. They ask me if it really matters, or if I am just being PC.
Does it really matter?
