Re: Respectful language in autism research: In response to Abdelrahman et  al. ‘Exploration of radiographers’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices in delivering healthcare to children with autism spectrum disorder’

We appreciate the opportunity to respond to the concerns raised by the letter by Potts and colleagues1 regarding our use of terminology in our recent publication in Radiography.2 We recognise the importance of language in shaping perceptions and the lived experiences of autistic individuals and their communities. The letter underscores a crucial dialogue about the evolution of language, identity, and representation within the autism spectrum community.
