The goal of this website is to validate the grief experiences of autistic adults while recognizing the many strengths and challenges of autism. The use of identity-first language (“an autistic adult” or “an autistic”) and person-first language (“an adult with autism”) is a personal choice. The creators of this site consulted with autistic researchers and advocates to understand the range of views regarding language use and decided to use a variety of styles throughout the website as an indication of respect for all views.
