well fuck you if you do this. don't. don't say something is 'autistic' if you think its weird, don't call someone autistic if they're not, don't say 'autism' with no context as if it's a joke- it's not. seriously, fuck you if you do this. stop it, get some help, anyone with any type of autism is better than you.
Person 1: "hey did you hear insert dickhead's name using autism as an insult?"
Person 2: "yeah, let's go beat them up and call them neurotypical."

Sudden Onset Autism, or S.O.A for short, is an extremely rare condition of unknown origin. Development of this disease is both abrupt and severe. As of now, the pathogenesis and mode of infection have eluded even the most qualified of research teams at Harvard, Hopkins, and Yale. Some have suspected that transmission occurs through contact with an infected person, especially prandially. There is still hope for a cure, although we may be decades away.
Infected Person: Hey man, let's go grab some lunch
Healthy Individual: what?! It's 3 in the morning. What's wrong with you
Infected Person: Well... it's lunchtime somewhere!
Healthy Individual: Oh God, you have Sudden Onset Autism... Please go away from me!

A neurodevelopmental condition characterized by impaired social skills and restricted interests or repetitive behavior. Symptoms usually begin in early childhood.
Although most people with autism spectrum disorder (people "on the spectrum") are functionally impaired, some thrive occupationally or academically, especially people with Asperger's syndrome, who have no delays in language development and/or IQ.
A common misconception is that people on the spectrum lack empathy, the affective part of empathy seems to be unimpaired compared to people without the condition. This means that people on the spectrum often have the capacity for compassion and morality.
Complications include bullying, unemployment (prevalence of about 90%), suicide and self-harm.
Treatment is limited and the efficacy of specific interventions has been disputed.
The heritability of the condition is about 90%. Specific environmental risk factors known to contribute to the condition include autoimmunity. Disproven environmental factors include vaccines.
Although the condition causes significant suffering for many, some have disputed the characterization as a disorder altogether, especially because the restricted interests commonly seen in the condition can include occupationally or socially useful subjects like math or physics. People on the spectrum often hyperfocus on their area of interest.
Several historical figures like Einstein are claimed to have been on the spectrum, these claims are unproven.
Autism spectrum disorder has a prevalence of about 1%.
