it's just a linguistic quirk, english just so happens to put adjectives first (i.e. "autistic person" instead of "person autistic")

The choice is more between 'Sally has autism' (some people think this makes it sound more like a disease, more distancing and separate from the person), and 'Sally is autistic' (sounds more like a character/personality trait, a way of being).
