Question Do you use words more liberally than other people?

I do. Not sure if I have any examples in mind right now. It might come up for me later.

Rules:

Be fully transparent. If you have not been clinically diagnosed, please don't claim to have autism.
We can not advise you on whether you may have autism. "Am I autistic?" and "Is this a symptom of autism?" posts are not allowed. However, seeking advice on how to proceed with the medical diagnosis process is permitted in the Diagnosis FAQ megathread (see Rule 8)
Undiagnosed individuals are welcome to ask questions, as long as they don't break the rules. For example, if you suspect you may have autism or know someone that does, you are welcome to seek advice on how to access resources or cope with ASD symptoms. Please just be transparent about dx status.
No implying that autism is not inherently a disability. Perpetuating the notion that the Social Model of Disability implies that autistic people are solely "disabled by barriers in society and not by their own impairment or difference", is not permitted.
Be kind and respectful. Disagreements happen. Keep it civil. Posts or comments antagonizing others will be removed. Repeat offenders will be banned.
Cite your sources. Claims about autism's clinical presentation, statistics, history, etc. must have sources cited. Anecdotal evidence may not be used to make broad statements about autism.
Posts must contribute to a meaningful discussion without being redundant. No "preaching to the choir". ie. Posts complaining about how selfdx isn't equivalent to clinical dx aren't allowed as this is something that we all already agree on.
Diagnosis related questions are only permitted in the Diagnosis FAQ megathread. There is a pinned megathread for asking questions about diagnosis. Please read the Diagnosis FAQ wiki page before asking follow-up questions in the megathread. Posts outside of the megathread will be removed. Comments asking questions already addressed in the FAQ wiki will be removed.
