Autism and anaesthesia: a simple framework for everyday practice
S Brown, Kai Rabenstein, Mary Doherty
Abstract
In common with other published articles, in this review we use identity-first language (autistic adult, autistic child) rather than person-first language (person with autism). Although medical training generally dictates the use of person-first language, identity-first language is the overwhelming preference of autistic people.1
