Dr. T will always just say "on the spectrum" or maybe has a couple times referred to "her autism" but more in the sense of "with her autism, she has x to deal with." So maybe I'm just used to that... I don't know. It sort of feels like "disabled person" vs. "person with disability" to me.
ETA: I think ex-MC also always used terms like "on the spectrum." I know he worked with some teens and adults who are.

I think you should go with your gut feeling. You could try another T for D.
