Does Autism Define Autistic People? In this video, we will be looking at whether autism spectrum disorder really does define autistic people. Because autistic people say that autism doesn't define them however I wanted to explore whether this was true for myself.

Autism as a label can be difficult for some, how other autistic people embrace it. But for those who embrace their autistic identify, does autism define them and who they are?

So does autism define you as an autistic person?
