Autism spectrum disorder?

Just a short post today.

I'm sure there must be some discussion around the nomenclature about Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Or I would hope there is. I haven't had a chance to research any of that, yet.

But, DISORDER?

I object!

How about Autism Spectrum Disability?

I don't like that too much, either.

How about Autism Spectrum Syndrome? Autism Spectrum Condition?

I know I just posted A rose by any other name. I know this seems contrary to what was written in that post.

I make sense of it though, because I believe words have precise meanings and impart precise preconceptions whether consciously or subconsciously.

I'd prefer my child be judged on who he is and what he is able to do than to be stereotyped into a disability or a disorder.
