It just seems more dignified and does not reduce a person to just one thing they have.
Saying "person with autism" seems otherizes them somewhat less, and perhaps might not validate mistreatment of them in the same way.
The same reason that "Jewish person" is better than "Jew."
As strange as this may sound, I'm happy to autism. It gives me a ability to think inbways that people find difficult.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
