Autism and functioning labels

I have heard 2 sides and I understand both

On one hand you have peoples who say that functioning labels will increase the stigma of autism and it creates a situation where autisic folks without learning disabilities won't have the acomodations they need

But on the other hand you have folks who love the labels specially the intellectual disabled autisic folk. It gives neurotipical folks some understanding and you know what both arguments are valid

Me, I don't feel any negative feelings towards functioning labels

I think should decide for themselves if they like functioning labels or not.
