Person First Language

In the United States, Person First Language is mandated for use in education through IDEA. This means defining others as people first and not being defined by their disability. For example, John has autism. Not John is autistic. However, for autism in particular, there is some controversy about this concept. In other developed countries Person First Language is not used. And I have seen recent research articles that study school age student's attitudes, and they are not necessarily using person first language. I'll discuss what (I think) is the current state of affairs.
