Here is what you need to know: the general consensus is that the majority of Autistic people prefer identity-first language; so "Autistic person" rather than "person has autism / person with autism". This is about human rights and undoing the societal stigma that Autistic people have faced for decades. The disclaimer here is that not every single Autistic person prefers identity-first language, and so we always want to honour the individual's preference. Not sure? Just ask the person.
