- switch007 1y agoI also had an urge to make my belly move in and out in a way that made a funny noise come out my mouth!
- djmips 1y agoToddlers are great for inventing phrases. Like Eating Store for restaurant.
- tomcam 1y agoThat is a way better term than restaurant
- chillingeffect 1y agoI sometimes call my hamper the "clothes garbage." :) There's actually a subreddit for these terms... can't remember atm.
- havermeyer 1y agoIt makes me think of the how "I have thirst" is the literal translation from the French for "I'm thirsty."
- dirtyhippiefree 1y agoThere’s power in not allowing a need to define you. “I have autism” is a better statement than “I’m autistic” because autism doesn’t define me.
- Suppafly 1y ago>“I have autism” is a better statement than “I’m autistic” because autism doesn’t define me. If that sort of thing is useful for you, go for it, but I'm also leery of these attempts to redefine language when they involve larger campaigns. Most people don't consider "I'm X" to define them when it comes to other concepts and honestly it seems like it could be helpful to consider such things are part of your identity. I'm black/autistic/diabetic/etc puts in a larger community. It doesn't define who you are overall, but does give you some sense that one of your attributes is shared with others.
