@[email protected] I liked the article, however I would like to suggest against using person-first language, especially towards autistic people. It is widely thought to be stigmatizing in the neurodiversity movement. Same goes with the narration that disability limits an individual per se, and not that it is a complex interaction between an individual and their environment. I provide some thoughtful texts to digest:

@[email protected] That’s a rather a misleading headline. He told a teacher “the whole school will blow up” if anyone looked in his backpack. His words sparked fear, not his bag.

The charges against him were dismissed and he ended up with a few days of suspension.
