i've always preferred saying ASD, but on this subreddit, everyone calls it Autism. is there a reason why you call it that?

edit: thank you for the responses, everybody! i understand much more now! for me, in my school, etc, being 'autistic' is generally an insult, or like someone doing something badly is said to have 'autism' as a joke. so, my association with the word is worse than ASD. i'll carry on using ASD but i appreciate the perspectives. <3
