| Autism doesn't define the person. You are not autistic, you are a person, and you have autism. |
Nowadays it is very usual to refer to people who have autism as autistic. "My son is autistic," "he is autistic," and it is curious how "having" has been replaced by "being." Autism does not define the person; you are not autistic, you have autism, and you are a person. However, it seems normal to define a person as autistic, in addition to pigeonhole in a behavior that has little to do with the reality of autism.
Autism doesn't define the person
We must begin to banish that stigma; people are not autistic, they have autism. We already put things too difficult for people who are in the Autism Spectrum Disorder to also mark them as something weird with a word.
Society has a great ignorance, which leads us to be conditioned by absurd messages. Autism is something much more complex, affects one in every 175 children, causes terror in the parents of children diagnosed precisely by that way of pigeonholing society.
People can be tall, skinny, or even blonde. Although such definitions are only intended to define certain particularities, however, the term “autistic” has been extended to define, classify and label people who have an Autism Spectrum Disorder.
It is, in short, a way to establish boundaries between the social group and people with autism. Although it may seem a vulgar question of the lexicon, finally the definition confuses and stigmatizes the person suffering from the syndrome mentioned above.
We must begin to demystify autism. In the world there are more than 1,000,000 people with autism and deserve all our respect and support, beginning by not looking at them as something outside the world or defining them as special beings.
