Why I Dislike 'Person First' Language, by Jim Sinclair
01/01/1999 (Aprox)
For the autism rights activist Jim Sinclair (1999), “person with autism” suggests that autism “is something bad—so bad that it isn’t even consistent with being a person.” Dawson thinks that using that expression would be as bizarre as using “person with femaleness” to designate a woman (quoted in Harmon 2004c). Attitudes toward cure and therapies are consistent with these various positions.
