Research output: Contribution to journalArticle

Abstract

In the preceding article, we explored our own experiences of being on the receiving end of medicalized language, and discussed some of the reasons that professionals might be inclined to write in a pathologizing tone, rather than from a place of acceptance, despite societal shifts towards conceptualizing autism as a natural human variation, rather than a condition to be corrected or cured. This article is provided as a companion piece, with a focus on practical suggestions for professionals when writing in a professional context.
