A Survey on Sensitive Language Use in the Autism Community

The language and labels we use in describing autism have an integral role in shaping social perception and the understanding of autism. In order to be an inclusive society that understands and embraces autism, we aspire to avoid words that could stigmatize or be divisive, aiming instead for more mindful and considerate language use.

The Autism Language Survey team is therefore conducting a public survey to understand the perspectives and preferences of the autistic community (including caregivers and professionals) in Singapore. Further details about the survey and how to participate are in the above poster. We really hope that as many people as possible can participate for the results to be truly representative of as many voices as possible. If you have already responded to this survey before, there is no need to participate again.

If you are interested, please scan the QR code in the poster or click on this link to access the survey. Thank you.
