Well, how am I supposed to keep up with “politically correct” terminology if “ploticially correct” terminology keeps changing every year?
I learned this term from a diagnosed autist last year (after refereling to her as “autist”). She told me she’s very active in that community and that this was a preffered term. Now you tell me it’s basically a dog whistle?
I’ll tell you what, I’m just gonna call everyone a dumbass and be done with it! Red Forman that shit.
You aren’t supposed to keep up with that shit. It’s stupid.
Assuming it isn’t your professional job in some capacity.
My take is if people get offended at you not calling them some preferred nomenclature… they are assholes. Well-adjusted people typically don’t start a shitfit about such things. Nor is a single person’s testimony anything to make a broader assumption upon.
I very much would like to agree with that,but in my experience the effort/reward is worth it. As in, it’s only a little effort and it is very much appreciated. Even if you do it wrong every conversation, but cincerely promosie to do better next time. That still is appreciated.

Uh, “dumbass” has been used for decades to put people down who have intellectual deficiencies. This is 2026; you can’t call people dumbasses.
Cartman is still a fatass in 2026.
Or does he have a ‘lipid mass regulation deficiency’?
