Word choice

[edit]

When describing people with Asperger syndrome (not "Asperger's Syndrome"), it is best to simply describe the person as a "person with Asperger syndrome". It is not necessary to describe the person as "suffering from Asperger syndrome" or as an "Asperger syndrome sufferer". See What to say (and not to say) about autism, from the National Autistic Society. Justin Mulvaney, a young man with Asperger syndrome was quoted: "People don't suffer from Asperger's ... They suffer because they're depressed from being left out and beat up all the time." (via How About Not 'Curing' Us, Some Autistics Are Pleading, New York Times). See also Autism rights movement and Sociological and cultural aspects of autism. Whatever404 (talk) 00:20, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies about the incorrect wording, it will not happen again. Thank you for the correction. Nuggets611 (talk) 15:03 16 August 2009 (UTC)
You are welcome; glad to hear that you are receptive to the message. If you feel interested to learn more about autistic culture, check out Wrong Planet; most folks there are quite willing to help people learn. Whatever404 (talk) 15:28, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I apologise for failing to comply with standard protocol. I have now outlined reasons on why the image does not infringe on existing copyright law which should maintain the continued use of the image's inclusion in an article where I feel it is necessary to further enhance the quality of the aforementioned article. --Nuggets611 14:22, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
