AIACC - Ages 14-20The Transition Age (14-20) Standards of Practice Committee recognizes that some people prefer person-first language (e.g., students with autism spectrum disorder) over the identity-first language we chose to use on our website. We respect the right of people to identify as they choose and hope our choice did not offend anyone. Please see Lydia Brown’s article for the Autistic Self Advocacy Network for a thoughtful analysis of this issue (https://autisticadvocacy.org/about-asan/identity-first-language/).
