Okay folks, I started another page. It is at https://facebook/personlastproject?fref=nf The language in the title might not be clear. Essentially, the person last project is an attempt to gather all of the occurrences of people objecting to what people call person first language in one place. Person first language is unacceptable in context of autism because it implies that autism is a separate thing to us, akin to an infection or failure of an organ, such as happens in diabetes. To hear my neurology likened in wording to influenza or diabetes is offensive. Until I posted some of the comments I have put into images on this page, people were often defending person first language by saying I was the only one objecting to it. A certain person who calls herself Donna Duncan, for example. Now she and others like her can bask in what I hope will be a growing basket of examples of her wrongness. Person first language puts the person you use it to refer to LAST.
