♾️ 3. Using Identity-First Language (IFL) in Neurodiversity Discussions | Anne MacMillan, MLA

Anne MacMillan from https://realneurodiverse.com explains the importance of using identity-first language (IFL) when referring to individuals with neurodivergencies. In this video, Anne discusses how the autistic community prefers identity-first language because they view autism as an inseparable part of their identity. Anne also delves into why attention neurodivergence (commonly known as ADHD) is approached differently and introduces the concept of high body empathy neurodivergents [0.3c].

Understanding the language preferences of neurodivergent individuals helps create a more respectful and inclusive environment, while recognizing each person's right to choose how they are addressed.
