In response to Vivanti's 'Ask The Editor…' paper [Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 50(2), 691-693], we argue that the use of language in autism research has material consequences for autistic people including stigmatisation, dehumanisation, and violence. Further, that the debate in the use of person-first language versus identity-first language should centre first and foremost on the needs, autonomy, and rights of autistic people, so in to preserve their rights to self-determination. Lastly, we provide directions for future research.
针对维万蒂的“问编辑……”论文[《自闭症与发育障碍杂志》，50(2)，691 - 693]，我们认为自闭症研究中语言的使用对自闭症患者会产生实质性影响，包括污名化、非人化和暴力。此外，关于使用以人为本的语言与身份优先语言的辩论应首先围绕自闭症患者的需求、自主性和权利展开，以便维护他们的自决权。最后，我们为未来的研究提供了方向。
