In 2026, it'd be nice if we could scrap euphemistic terms like 'special needs' 'Additional needs' 'different abilities' 'very special kids' or anything 'inspo-p0rnish such as 'Autism is a superpower!'. Instead, use the words 'Disabled' 'Disability' ... it's not an offensive term. In fact, many disabled people find these sugarcoated terms actually offensive. And let Autistic and other neurodivergent people decide if they have exceptional powers, or are disabled by societal structures. Or both at once.
