Can anyone point me to an article about why person-first language is NO but a polite and informative one? It’s not for me it’s for my therapist. 

This page points to many different articles you can choose from, down at the bottom:

http://autisticadvocacy.org/identity-first-language/

do you understand any of those articles? I don’t.

I think I understand one of Jim Sinclair’s, which is what I was looking for when I got pointed at that giant page full of articles instead.  Xyr article is one of the ones linked.  But I might understand it because I’ve been reading it over and over and over since 1998 or so.
