Self-rule in Autism

Terminology is in constant evolution in Medicine, although not always indispensable.

Language is one of the most common signs of the time.
Since the advent of Internet, it would seem  ‘fashionable’ to introduce unnecessary new vocabulary to long established functional terminology.

Self-rule is just another example of Routine, with a more inquisitive emphasis.

I’m not against renewal when necessary.
What worries me, is the further  ‘cruel tone’ adopted by new vocabulary.
Many new words are created with Artificial Intelligence, hence lacking human touch.

Self-rule highlights the unwillingness for Change in autism.
Surely, autists are comfortable with routine, although Willingness is not precluded.

We’re confusing Unwillingness with Fear.
Autists CRAVE for Neurotypicality to the draining extent of Masking.
A good number of autistics, mainly middle-aged, seek help late in adulthood when they have exhausted their masking skills.
They are not entirely to blame, educators knew little to nothing of neurodevelopment disorders up to thirty years ago.
Early diagnoses make the big leap into managing fear.
