Person-First Language vs. Identity-First language

“Person with a disability” is the term taught in academic settings and often used by non-disabled caregivers, educators, and/or medical professionals. Identity-First language, e.g., “Disabled Person” is the term often preferred by disabled people, especially those involved in or with access to disabled culture. The Autistic community overall strongly supports this language, contrary to what has been the practice of “Person-First language.”
