Change autism spectrum disorder to autism spectrum condition on gov. publication

Petition Details

I personally have Asperger’s syndrome and do not see it as a disorder and the word disorder sheds a bad light on autism while the word condition gives it less negative connotations. Many people with autism are very talented and should not be defined as having a disorder.

Additional Information

Websites such as the NHS use ASD. All official publications should use “condition” instead.
