Abstract

In common with other published articles, in this review we use identity-first language (autistic adult, autistic child) rather than person-first language (person with autism). Although medical training generally dictates the use of person-first language, identity-first language is the overwhelming preference of autistic people.1

Bibliography cited by this reference

Cited references are imported from external metadata sources when they are available. The list may be partial.

Cited bibliography overview

These indicators describe the bibliography cited by this publication. An author name is counted each time it appears in one cited reference, so the same person can be counted more than once. Names not yet linked to an author already present in AutiHub are treated as unknown, not as non-autistic. Last computed: 3 Oct 2026 08:20.
