Talk:I have autism

Deletion debate
I've nothing against autists but, how is this phrasebook material? It is certainly not any common. -- Liliana • 18:33, 14 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Haha, it is around here! Equinox ◑ 18:36, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Is this even how it's usually said? Isn't I'm autistic more common? --Yair rand (talk) 18:47, 14 August 2012 (UTC)


 * I thought that the usefulness of letting company know that one is autistic or possesses autism was reason enough to conserve this. Some entries, such as ‘I need a razor’ are not common in writing but are, I suppose, still permitted if they are convenient. Since I (apparently) do not have a good grasp on what is either useful or common, I can stop creating more phrasebook entries if anyone desires, since they are not that important to me. In any case, I have to admit that I honestly do not really care if this entry becomes deleted or not. --Æ&#38;Œ (talk) 20:06, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * (Re Yair:) I don't know. I do know that literature from diabetes organizations refer to people with diabetes as just that, not as diabetics. &#x200b;—msh210℠ (talk) 17:01, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete, I'd rather see this as I have... with also I'm... and I need... rather than naming every single noun and adjective. Mglovesfun (talk) 20:09, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per MG; sounds like a good solution. --Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 20:24, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
 * @Mglovesfun: the problem is that the choice of "I have", "I am", "I need" is terribly dependent on the language and culture (whether target or source). --129.125.102.126 01:20, 18 October 2012 (UTC)


 * I can bear if this particular example to be deleted but strongly against deleting all of them all. A couple of more common, e.g. I have diabetes and I have cancer should be kept. They are phrasebook items. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 01:50, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
